Richmond’s dining scene was celebrated with the fifth annual Elbys, presented on Feb. 21 in a gala ceremony and reception at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
The Richmond magazine event, themed “Elbys en Blanc,” drew more than 500 guests. Elbys are awarded to the metro area’s top chefs, restaurateurs, servers and purveyors (here's the complete list of winners). The Elbys are named after Paul Elbing, who oversees the French Food Festival and was longtime owner and excutive chef of La Petite France.
