Yes, I did notice that school started a week early...

Unfortunately, break is over. I'm sorry.

Welcome back everyone! I hope that your break was filled with food that your parents paid for. Now that you're back on your own, it is my goal to make sure that you don't starve.

Get ready for Charlottesville's semi-annual Restaurant Week, held next week 1/21-1/27.
