RVA Foodie Spotlight: Wake And Snake Burgers & Veggie Ramen

by | Oct 8, 2020 | EAT DRINK

If there’s any activity our RVA Magazine team loves unanimously, it’s eating. And of all the dishes in the world, nothing tastes quite as good as the ones made right here in the River City. 

So in the spirit of eating ourselves into food comas in Richmond, we’re spotlighting our favorite local restaurants each week with the best #RVAFoodie finds around town. We’ll be searching weekly for the best of delicious local food in our community, from amazing restaurants to chefs, food trucks, pop-ups and more. Here’s a few close-to-home favorites this week to follow on Instagram. 

If you’ve got an awesome restaurant to spotlight, reach out to john@rvamag.com! Support local, RVA!

We saw this ube pandesal from @angiesbakeryvb and knew we had to have it. We grabbed some @autumn_olive_farms pork and made our own longganisa for some garlicky sweetness, topped it with a fried egg from @peterson_farm and then a slice of american chz to boot. It’s fucked up good.
