Strawberry Fields Forever: The Opening of VCU’s Community Garden
Words by Michael Pasco Photos by Aleena Inthaly On Tuesday April 24, you couldn’t walk on the MCV campus without hearing people mention the Strawberry Cook-off. Green Unity, an organization focused on bringing people in the VCU and Richmond community together through the use of healthy food and healthy habits, cut the ribbon to a [...]
Cellar Door: A Feast Behind The Cellar Door
Words and Photos by Aleena Inthaly There are days when I get sick of the over populated commotion of campus and desire to dine at a place offering more than just over-baked cheesy college-kid munchies. So I set off to explore more of the Richmond area and came across a tiny sign offering dinner specials [...]
The Veggie Monoblogs:“So all you eat is salad, right?”
Paige Baxter Now it is time to address the fact that when many think of vegetarians and vegans, they immediately assume that their diets consist of only salads and that they must LOVE vegetables. Get ready for some vegetarian venting because both of these assumptions are not always true by any means. Did you like [...]
Garnett’s Cafe: The Art of the Sandwich

Edo’s Squid: Delicious Food, Poor Service

The outer appearance does not suggest the promise of delicious Italian cuisine that awaits hungry diners. When I opened the door, I was faced with a narrow staircase; after I finished my short, but steep, trek [...]
The Hill Café: Small Portions for A Hungry Tummy
Words and Photos by Paige The lights are dimmed at The Hill Café in the heart of Church Hill as I entered with excitement. It is not often I venture to Church Hill since I live so close to campus and there are a lot of food options close by. However, it is always nice [...]
The Veggie Monoblogs Introduces: Doin’ it Right
Words by Paige Baxter Everyone can say they’re vegetarian. It’s really easy, look: “Hey guys, I am vegetarian.” Not getting the right nutrients you need is even easier to do. No one is perfect and I am aware of this. I have been vegetarian for six years now and there’s no way I always get [...]
Food of the Folk Fest!
Words by Michael Pasco Photos by Amanda Campbell As you walk into the actual festival, past all the porta-potties and dining tables are the food stands.
