Food tour? Oh yes.

Yes, yes, yes they do exist and they are so delicious. I just recently went on a Richmond food tour in Church Hill which was absolutely fantastic.

We started at Alamo Barbecue, which is delivery only, too add to its awesomeness it is delivery only on a hot pink funny looking bike. They have a very delicious and peppery barbecue, also come very excellent mac-n-cheese with pepper in it as well (still oh so yummy, you just need to be slightly more inclined to a little spicy kick.)

The next place we went was Anthony's on the hill. A little Italian place, casual with paper table cloths, but all of their food they make themselves, the dough, the sauce. It was delicious. The pizza was a little thin, but the thick sauce, the gooey cheese, and the thick warm crust all made up for that. A great place for lunch.
WPA Bakery was up next on this food train, and i don't think i have ever tastes anything more delicious in my whole entire life. Buttermilk pie is the way to go, my young Jedi friends, buttermilk pie is the way to go.

Proper Pie Co. was the last stop (the tour was shortened on the account of myself and my fellow tourists being underage for drinking). The guy who owns the restaurant used to tour with bands as their caterer, he toured with the Beatle! <3 Here i ate a really yummy vegetable pot pie.




SO food tours are really groovy, but im all about spicing up everyday life by sprinkling in a little nerd in where ever i can. Wouldn't it be cool to have a geekdom themed food tour? Here are some really cool geek themed foods you can make with friends while have a Harry Potter Marathon or any other awesome marathon:
