Congratulations to David Shannon, chef and owner of L’Opossum! His 2 1/2 year old restaurant, at the corner of China and S. Pine, won big at Richmond Magazine’s Elby Awards last night at the Altria Theater.
Shannon took Chef of the Year, and L’Opossum also was named Restaurant of the Year.
From Richmond Magazine:
In 2015, L’Opossum received the Elby for Best New Restaurant. Last year, Shannon was named a James Beard semi-finalist. One visiting judge said: “To be frank, when I first read the menu online, I thought it was overly clever. But the chef earned the right to his sense of humor. … It’s the No. 1 place I visited this year that I’d go back to.” Another wrote: “Beautiful presentations and precise execution with every course. Cleverness and innovation abound, but above all, the spot-on taste of each dish – from foie gras and double-cut loin lamb chops to la petite mort au chocolate en flambé – dazzled. The intense labor and excellent quality of ingredients make this restaurant a value!”

REMINDER!
We will be closed regular hours this week Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 18th, for Painting and some light renovations.
We will be around likely with some stuff out front for limited hours, and we would love to see y’all. Please understand the whole shop won’t be open until Saturday the 19th, but we have some special stuff set aside to make up for being closed a few days!
Vinyl Conflict has been open since 2008 and this is the first time we’ve taken a couple days to put on a fresh coat of paint.
Thanks for the on going support!

From FaceBook event page:
Come be bad with all your friends. The end is near, you’ve been couped up all week, it’s two days before Aaliyah and Sade’s birthday. I could write a four page letter filled with the sweetest taboos, but I don’t wanna rock the boat. I cherish the day we’re gonna have together, the tots we’re gonna eat, the drinks we’re gonna drink, the tail feathers we’re gonna shake.
From Mojo’s FaceBook page:
Mojo’s will close at 2pm Saturday the 31st and reopen at 10am on Sunday for New Years Day brunch. See ya there! Happy New Year!
One of the neat things about the micro-brewery explosion in Richmond is the collaboration with local restaurants. Great to see neighbor and restauranteur Ed Vasaio taking part.
From the Strangreways Brewing FaceBook page:
Tirami’Zu Brew Rum Barrel Aged Porter returns to Strangeways taps today at 11a. As you recall, this is our collaboration with Mamma Zu, Edo’s Squid, Dinamo, and 8 1/2 and you’re going to want to have this by your side for Thanksgiving. Bottle availability is limited and they’ll only be sold at the brewery. No limit on purchase, so get it while you can.
