It's been over two months since Richmond Brunch Weekend happened! Honestly, we've been dieting ever since due to all those mimosas and omelets eaten Saturday and Sunday.

But we want to thank you all for coming out and supporting the first ever Richmond Brunch Weekend! In total, we had 24 restaurants participate and raised over $11,000 that will all go back to VCU Massey Cancer Center. We think these are awesome figures for our inaugural event, and we can't wait to plan for the Second Annual Richmond Brunch Weekend!

Of course, none of this would have been possible without you - our dedicated readers and brunchers - and also all of the restaurants, their staffs, and our sponsors. We also have to thank our partners, the Massey Alliance. An event like this can't happen without many chefs in the kitchen.

We look forward to serving you up more mimosas, more waffles, and more omelets in 2017, all while fighting cancer! To stay up-to-date, subscribe to our blog below and/or like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Instagram, and like Richmond Brunch Weekend's Facebook page!

Three New Features of Richmond Brunch Weekend 2023

Aug 1, 2023

I listed our t-shirts first because it’s a fun way to support us even if you’re not in Richmond (they even ship internationally, Cazey!).

We have two designs this year, which is a first. One is the white RVA Brunch Weekend logo on a myriad of products, Make sure to click around a bit — there are nine different products you can get the logo on with typically five color options for each design. That’s 40 options, so buy a few so you can rock our logo year round.

Some may scream nepo-baby, but I scream, “There’s gotta be some dog on the shirt, so mine as well be mine, ESPECIALLY since she’s a rescue dog!” We lovingly call this design Brunch BFF, and it features a glorious tabby cat and waffle-headed mutt that yes, is a graphical rendering of Bellatrix. Same rules as above apply, scroll around a bit and buy a few! You can get the design on t-shirts, baseball shirts and more.

Bacon Bits: The Secret Life of Socks

Oct 26, 2022

In recent years, the placement of L and R on a sock pair is meant to imply there’s a proper alignment to your feet, much like a shoe or a glove. Now I’m not suggesting I’ve solely worn socks exclusively on the "proper foot", but I have noticed one thing — well more than half of the time — I adorn my feet with the correct alignment without actually looking.

Who is Grits Malone? Meet Our New Guest Blogger

Aug 24, 2022

If you caught our last blog post on concert etiquette, you might have noticed it’s by a new guest blogger named Grits Malone. My friend saw the blog post and asked, “Who is Grits?” so I thought it might benefit our entire community if I give you just a few words about him!

Bacon Bits... Standing or Sitting?

Aug 15, 2022

Okay, here's the deal; I've been to many concerts and, as my disposable income has modestly increased, so too has my desire to become more comfortable at such events (ignoring how my modestly increased age MAY be contributing to the same). At any rate, at my last concert, my wife and I purchased seats to enjoy the sounds of Keith Urban. All was well and good as we settled into our seats, politely 'squenched' in to allow others to pass in our aisle and gained a mild buzz (pacing ourselves, I think is what folks from my generation call it).

Even with the warm up band, we remained comfy and could see the performers on stage; this was about to change. As soon as Keith appeared, as if some crowd dog whistle had been blown, everyone stood up — well almost everyone.

There's the dilemma; do I stand or do I sit?

A portion of each sale of those will go to the Richmond SPCA .

A Sense of Identity and Donating Blood

Jun 29, 2021

Well — June is my month to write a blog post, and there is a singular topic I have wanted to write about, and it’s bloody propaganda (kind of a joke). However, before I get into the straight propaganda about why you should donate blood (if you’re able), I want to start about how donating blood has become a weird, but cherished, part of my identity.

Get Woke: Stop Buying Purebred Dogs

May 31, 2021

Fifteen months after the pandemic arguably began, we see a light at the end of the tunnel. The willing are vaccinated. People are traveling again. Masks are off – mostly. And offices are starting to discuss The Return.

There’s also been an influx of returns to pet shelters. Now this piece isn’t shaming those who must rehome a pet — I covered my own personal turmoil on this topic already — but this is a unique opportunity for the many who want a purebred dog to get one ethically.

This is my plea for people to visit pet shelters when getting pets, especially for dogs.

I was Listening to this Podcast...

Apr 27, 2021

Months — maybe years ago at this point, time doesn’t make sense to me anymore — my friends mocked me because I would start far too many conversations with, “I was watching this documentary…” and then I would begin a diatribe about whatever topic I had just learned about.

Throughout the pandemic, I’ve found myself listening to hours of podcasts, and now relating conversations back to stories I’ve heard on podcasts.

Here are bits I’ve found most interesting lately while listening to Armchair Expert.
