Richmond Magazine’s May
Issue
“50 Fabulous Food Finds,”
“Grocery Wars” and More
This month’s issue hits
heavy on the topic of food — including a list of culinary
gems around town, a look at Richmond’s fast-changing
grocery-store scene and even a news story on the city’s
meals-tax mess: Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll
find inside:
- We dispatched a team
of writers to scout the region for “50
Fabulous Food Finds,” and, trust us, the difficult
part wasn’t finding delectable dishes — it was
narrowing down the list. From a sweet Dutch pastry to a spicy Ethiopian
appetizer, we uncover some goods worth trying.
- In the next couple of years, Richmond-region grocery
shoppers will notice a spate of changes at local food retailers
— from a second Fresh Market on South Side to the opening of
two major retailers — Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods
Market. In “Grocery
Wars,” we look at the changing landscape for
grocery chains in the region.
- We get a
local perspective from Pat Kite, the mother of a Marine,
whose son’s military deployment the Iraq war zone has made
for some sleepless nights and bittersweet holidays.
Join Us at Broad
Appétit

and storytelling. A performing-arts stage will host musical acts and

R Health &
Beauty

locations
This month, you’ll find our expanded
R Health & Beauty magazine.
Features

- In 10 years, the
number of bariatric patients has spiked from 12,000 to 110,000. We take
a closer look at the implications of weight-loss surgeries, including a
mother and her son who had very different
results.
- How to take a good picture: Very few
of us like how we look in photos, but four brave souls model their
worst poses and take some tips about how to charm the
lens.
- Our “Spas 101”
guide offers some tips to spa etiquette that will keep you in good
graces wherever you go to recharge.
