Two Drummer’s Smokehouse

Tammy found Two Drummer’s Smokehouse, this middle-of-nowhere place, when researching Williamsburg and we stopped in for dinner on the way into town. The meat was delicious. The ribs were fall of the bone and delicious. The pulled pork was juicy and full of flavor. The brisket was delightful. Probably the weakest showing on the plate was the cornbread.

The Lab by Alchemy Coffee

I was looking for a coffee fix and Tammy did some searching and found The Lab by Alchemy Coffee. We drove here and the place looked pretty solid. Great ambiance and they seemed to have their act together. I got a macchiato as well as a pour-over to go. The macchiato presented great, but was a bit thin. They need their espresso dialed in a bit better. The pour over was really good however the roast was a little lighter than I would typically go.

Boylan-Heights has good burgers with a focus on sustainability and grass-fed happy burgers. The burgers tasted a little different though which I think was the result of them using dry aging with the meat. Tater tots were ridiculous good!

Tammy found The Urban Farmhouse for breakfast in Richmond just down the street from the Residence Inn we spent the night at. They do a weekend brunch with a very, very tiny kitchen. More like a coffee shop that makes a run at making waffles and such on the weekend. They seem to do it all without a normal flat cooktop since everything was cooked in some sort of an iron or skillet. Food was tasty and the pastries were really good as well.
