Coffee and a Conversation

As Told Over Brunch is a home for intelligent discourse from the twenty-something perspective - so the stuff you gossip about over mimosas on Sunday morning or over takeout on your friend's couch when happy hour ends too early. We love chatting about our lives, whether it be the relationships we’re building (or destroying), lessons we've learned at work, struggles at school, growing pains we've felt, or even the food we’re talking over.

As Told Over Matchbox Short Pump's Bottomless Brunch

Matchbox Short Pump

November 18, 2018 by Cazey Williams in Cazey's Column, Richmond Brunch Review

You wouldn’t normally think of Matchbox Vintage Pizza Bistro in Short Pump as a brunch spot based on its name, but you’d be deceived. I have had several friends brunch here in the past, including Sara, and all had delivered rave anecdotes. I had been meaning to try it, too, especially since Matchbox has participated in Richmond Brunch Weekend for the last two years.

Thankfully, last weekend I got to check out their menu with Sara. Even better, we got to try out their newest menu – a bottomless brunch they’ve labeled the “Brunchbox.” Our special invitation came with a caveat: we had to be filmed for a promo Matchbox was shooting. Because of this, we didn’t get a lot of great photos we took. Instead, we had to take bites of the food for the camera before we could snap our own. For that reason, we’re using photos taken by local food photographer Deb Lindsey.

Brunch Review: The Boathouse at Rockett's Landing

The Boathouse at Rockett's Landing

April 03, 2016 by Sara Woznicki in Richmond Brunch Review

Cazey and I have been meeting some really cool Richmonders in the quest to make Richmond Brunch Weekend as amazing as it can be. Today, we got to sit down with Faith Wilkerson from UnlockingRVA to chat about how we can share resources to get more restaurants onboard and more people to know about the event. We decided to conduct our "business" in the only fashion we know: over brunch.

Despite the weather being a bit gloomy, we decided to try out The Boathouse at Rockett's Landing. Since I never go into a brunch cold, I previewed the menu the night before and decided that I was going to get the Southern custard bread pudding French toast.

When you first walk in to brunch at Boathouse at Rockett's Landing, the first and most noticeable change from their nighttime set-up is the wide array of breakfast foods laid out for the taking in the semi-buffet set up by the far windows.
