Best Brunch. / There be Dragons.

Life in Richmond is one long brunch line admittedly. Discovering the Best Brunch in Richmond however was somewhat serendipitous. Saturday's festivalling was due to be found near Rockett's Landing.
A downpour ensued, at which point we headed down the hill.

 

'Housed in a turn-of-the century brick eatery that used to serve Richmond's tobacco plant workers, Millie's has been setting the trend in cutting-edge cuisine since 1989.'

So says Style: Tobacco Row diner Millie’s also could win for longest wait for a table. Not that the regulars are complaining. They bring their newspapers, chat with neighbors and queue up for spots in the two-room roadhouse, primed for 16-ounce Bloody Marys and ... a hearty brunch lineup. Triple bonus points for the jukebox."

Ah, the jukebox! One per table. I got a little excited by the mini-version-ness of it all.

"A study in eclecticism... perhaps the best symbol of an updated Richmond."
~ Bon Appetit

Their brunch certainly was eclectic & not your regular brunch fare.

 

 The rainstorm passed. Back up the hill for the Dragon Boat Festival:  

 

 

  

 We watched some rowing, watched some dancing.

These girls had a whole routine modelled on how to best let your hair dry....
