Meet Some Folks behind Richmond, Virginia’s Culinary Service

Standout Culinary Scene

Virginia’s culinary scene is rapidly garnering worldwide attention. A stop in Richmond is must considering to get the best culinary experience. The capital city, better known as RVA. Called out often by the experts and constantly added to national lists as a ‘must visit’. Richmond’s vast array of cutting-edge culinary offerings make it almost impossible to decide where to dine. We recently went behind-the-scenes with several of the folks who make Richmond’s food scene so special. You can watch the full virtual tour here or you can read on below.

Before we offer you a small taste of the remarkable purveyors behind the scenes, let’s set the backdrop. The capital of the confederacy during the American Civil War, Richmond is rich in history. Arts and culture prevail, from the premier Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to a superlative street art scene. And right through the middle of the city runs the James River, providing the perfect outdoor playground to work up an appetite. Richmond is where urban edginess meets southern charm. Take a look and see what we mean.

An Overview of Richmond:

Today in Richmond, two of Virginia’s home-grown staples, oysters and craft beer, are being paired perfectly and served up sustainable culinary. Yet, not so long ago, these two incredible tastes would have been much harder to find in Virginia. Let’s start with the oyster and a trip to a farm.

The story of the Virginia oyster goes back thousands of years to when Native Americans fished the waters of the Bay. Further, John Smith has a recent and notable history in the oyster. And the English settlers that arrived in Jamestowne, Virginia in 1609. The conditions of the Bay during that time were perfect for oysters, with the salty Atlantic Ocean. Likewise, water mixing with the freshwater of the rivers that emptied into the Chesapeake Bay. Unfortunately, 19th-century population growth and 20th-century pollution drastically affected the oyster beds of the Chesapeake. By the 1980s, the once-abundant seafood dish became scarce and virtually inedible. See a short video of historic oyster farms below courtesy of Rappahannock Oyster Co.

Rappahannock Oyster Company in the 1950s

In the early 2000s, a group of Virginia watermen, scientists and environmentalists met to discuss a plan for saving the Bay’s oyster business. They began working to clean up the Chesapeake Bay and reintroduce healthy oysters once the water was clean. Today, these efforts have led to an oyster renaissance in Virginia. And you can find plump, mouthwatering examples of their success at restaurants throughout the U.S. East Coast.

Virginia oysters

Two of the Virginia watermen who played a particularly significant role in that renaissance. Are Travis and Ryan Croxton, cousins and owners of the fourth-generation, family-owned Rappahannock Oyster Company. Virginia oyster being close to being placed on the endangered species list and their family lease came together. The cousins were unwilling to let the rich family history fall by the wayside. And the more they researched the business, the more they realized they also wanted to help the oyster and the Bay.

So, they introduced ‘off bottom aquaculture’ at their farm in Topping, Virginia, a practice that helps not just the oyster but the waters in return, and their business boomed. Soon other farmers introduced the same techniques, and, in a few years, Virginia was back in the oyster business, with a cleaner Bay to boot. Below, go behind the scenes with Ryan and Travis Croxton to learn more.

Chef Ledesma, born to Filipino parents, grew up in New York and Annapolis, Maryland. And he brings flavours from every place that has inspired his cooking, including Hawaii, West Virginia and Virginia. He works actively with nearby farmers and butchers on a consistently changing, sustainable menu. As citrus trees on-site, it displays planters of herbs used in the kitchen. And one of the ways Chef Ledesma weaves in that ‘Virginia spirit’ is through the local oyster which he serves up in style, as you’ll soon see in the video below where he demonstrates a few of his oyster recipes. (By the way, if you are interested we are happy to share Chefs recipe…)

Craft beer is a beverage that pairs perfectly with oysters and Richmond has no shortage of unbeatable breweries. Yet that wasn’t the case as little as 10 years ago. In 2010, Richmond had less than a handful of homegrown offerings. Now the city boasts nearly 40 and is considering to be one of the top craft beer destinations in the world.

Hardywood Park Craft Brewery

Our next stop is at one of the oldest breweries in Richmond, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery. Which opened in their downtown Richmond location in 2011 and has been growing ever since. They recently opened their newest brewery, Hardywood West Creek, just 20 minutes from downtown RVA. Nestled on 24 acres overlooking Tuckahoe Creek, Hardywood’s destination brewery features a built-in stage, an outdoor patio and beer garden, and a food truck plaza. Games like shuffleboard are also on-hand for entertainment, making the brewery a one-stop-shop for fun, food and great beer.

Hardywood brews both innovative and traditional ales and lagers and has earned international acclaim. Including medals at the Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Cup, and Australian International Beer Awards. Co-owners Patrick Murtaugh and Eric McKay take great pride in brewing with purpose, supporting local growers. Brewing with primarily Virginia ingredients and highlighting the eclectic variety of flavours that only Virginia-grown products can provide.

Hardywood was the first brewery in Virginia powered entirely by renewable energy, including solar, biomass, and wind through the Dominion Virginia Green Power Program. They also work with local farms to reuse their spent grain as compost and feed, and a number of their beers are brewed in support of organizations dedicated to environmental awareness and protection. Go behind-the-scenes with owners Patrick Murtaugh and Eric McKay to learn what makes Hardywood so special. We hope you enjoyed meeting some of the incredible people behind Virginia’s remarkable food scene and when you are ready to travel, come explore Virginia and Richmond.

FENDI Renaissance – Anima Mundi

New York Digital Preview

‘FENDI Renaissance – Anima Mundi’ global streaming event held in NEW YORK on January 12, 2021. In collaboration with The Juilliard School, a world leader in performing arts education in New York.

Following an established history of supporting emerging artists from the design and visual arts disciplines. The Roman Maison was also proud to start a donation program with Juilliard towards student scholarships in the spirit of supporting creativity at every level. Likewise, enabling current and future young student-artists in the disciplines of music, dance and drama to realize their highest aspirations.

FENDI Anima Mundi NY Juilliard-©BenVogel_Tyler Henderson-Piano

“Beyond our admiration for the dedication of the students to have reached the level of achievement having been accepted to the esteemed Juilliard School in their respective disciplines, our shared obsession with craft and the importance that arts play in giving back to society is the reason we at FENDI chose to make a meaningful donation to Juilliard,” said FENDI Chairman and CEO, Serge Brunschwig.

Further, performances of classical music masterpieces in Rome, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul. FENDI decided on a different approach for the fifth episode of Anima Mundi shot in 2020, choosing to highlight the talents of the young jazz musician. Subsequently, feeling that this was the right medium for the episode given its American tradition and capacity to cultivate community and connection among the artists and the world.

Further into it…

“Our Juilliard students are very excited to be included in this unique, global artistic statement. FENDI has created a provocative suite of episodes showcasing great music, set against iconic architecture. Featuring engaging musicians decked out in the elegant clothes and accessories of FENDI.

It is fitting that Jazz, New York and Juilliard close out this suite. Jazz symbolizes individual freedom, collective creativity and personal resilience–fundamental attributes needed to effectively navigate an increasingly complex world. New York is the quintessential modern metropolis, a cauldron of cutting-edge connectivity. And Juilliard brings youthful virtue, vigor and virtuosity to the timeless challenges of humanity.

The current pandemic has given us an unpredictable set of ever-changing variables. Perfect for Jazz! The art of mastering the moment with insight, execution and feeling.

We are grateful to FENDI for commissioning a new work by student Aaron Matson. And for supporting our student performing ensemble in a project that so optimistically addresses this very moment. Director Nick Morgan Lieberman has done fantastic work which clearly reveals that Jazz, Juilliard, New York and FENDI play quite well together. We are proud to participate.” said Wynton Marsalis, Director of Juilliard Jazz.

Composition and performance are intended to honour resilience, renewal, and renaissance, FENDI.

Meanwhile, the ensemble of six student musicians from the world-renowned Juilliard Jazz Studies Program in New York had only just begun in-person work on campus in November. Similarly, following rigorous safety protocols began rehearsing an original score composed by master’s student, Aaron Matson, “Rollerblading in Harlem,” commissioned by FENDI for this series.

“The idea behind Anima Mundi was conceived during the darkest days of the pandemic in Italy, as a cause for hope, a reason to celebrate, with artists coming together for the first time to perform Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”. At our headquarters in Rome at the Summer Solstice. It is now six months later that students from Juilliard are playing together for the first time in New York. Marking the beginning of a New Year that also brings with it cause for hope for our global community,” said FENDI Artistic Director for Accessories and Menswear, Silvia Venturini Fendi.

In detail about the performance

Filmed in December the students performed together for the first time since New York City shut down in mid-March 2020. Keeping safety top of mind, the shoot followed Juilliard’s strict protocols. Likewise, social distancing and the use of face masks for the students. Including, the specially designed PPE for their instruments. The FENDI Women’s and Men’s Fall Winter 2020-2021 Collections gave attires to musicians.

The world-renowned Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center served as the backdrop of the performance of the ensemble when they were playing together overlooking spectacular views of Central Park. Around Lincoln Center and Juilliard’s performing arts venues is where the solo performance took place. Including Paul Hall, Glorya Kaufman Dance Studio and the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Normally filled with audience members coming to show their support of students as they perform.

Further, led by Juilliard alumnus and Pulitzer and GRAMMY® award-winning trumpeter and composer, Wynton Marsalis, Juilliard Jazz. Combines education in the history and traditions of jazz with professional performance opportunities designed to integrate students into a thriving jazz environment. Celebrating its 20^th year in 2021, Juilliard Jazz is one of the newer programs of study at Juilliard. Which was founded in 1905 and long renowned for its superlative performing arts education in classical music, dance, and drama.

The student performers make up a prestigious group. Simultaneously, achieving much acclaim form mastery of their various instruments in the world of Jazz. They are saxophonist Colin Waters, trumpeter Summer Camargo, drummer Taurien Reddick, bassist Jayla Chee, pianist Tyler Henderson, and trombonist Jasim Perales.

2020’s Top 10 Hindi Rizzle Series

Top drawer Rizzle Series. Served Bollywood style

2020 was…something! I think we can all collectively agree that our life didn’t see a lot of action in the past 10 months. However, it was a jackpot season for the digital world. Short video apps took over the world and the pandemic rewrote the rules for content creation. Last year wasn’t just about golden-hour pictures and WFH selfies, it was also about people coming out of their shells and creating bite-sized content on Instagram reels, Youtube and Rizzle!

Speaking of things taking over the internet, Rizzle’s signature vertical series is all the rage. Creators, directors, singers, and dancers collaborate to knit captivating short series that you can watch anywhere on the go. Hundreds of short series are available to watch for free on this up and coming app. If that didn’t convince you to check them out, you must know that with their latest Rizzle Dekho program, you can even earn by watching these fun Rizzle Series.

Here are Rizzle’s Top 10 most-loved series from 2020.

1. Road To Her Heart

Road To Her Heart is undoubtedly one of the most popular series on Rizzle and for good reason. Produced by Creator21, it stars popular influencers Anam Darbar and Naveen Sharma. It is a story of young love that is translated to the mobile screen exceptionally well by this talented and aesthetically blessed duo. Naveen’s character, Luv is a cricket-obsessed recluse whose life unravels into something more once fate brings him and Anam’s character, Vaidehi together. This series is equal parts romantic as it is quirky.

2. Virtual Date

What do you do when you’re bored out of your wits? Most girls stalk cute guys on Instagram. But vivacious Swara takes things up a notch. And the recipient of her exuberance is none other than Aditya Vyas. This series on Rizzle follows a video call between strangers during the lockdown. From Parla’s famous dhabeli with Amul Butter Misal to reminiscing their days at MP Shah English High School to debating getting on video calls with strangers to small talk about their day to day activities, the duo grows from being strangers to becoming friends who understand each other. If you’re looking for dating inspiration in this lockdown, this series is a must-watch!

3. Aakhri Dinner

YouTubers Funcho and Angry Prash come together in this hilarious Rizzle Series to demonstrate the pain of India’s youth after the PUBG ban. The name Aakhri Dinner is a punny spin on the game’s “chicken dinner”. If you were once PUBG obsessed, this series is going to make you ROFL and also make you feel all kinds of nostalgic with several references to the game. We recommend watching it with your fellow former PUBG squad for optimal effect!

4. Glitch

This short series by Picture Dekho Productions is one of the best suspense thrillers you will come across on Rizzle. Despite the series lasting for barely 10 minutes, Arpita Sinngh’s acting as the titular character will blow your mind away. Riddled with quirky capsule hotels or “pods”, time-lapses, and creepy staff, a vivacious vlogger’s life quickly turns into a nightmare.

5. Date Fate

An easy-breezy date seems to be going pretty well until coincidences complicate things. This exclusive Rizzle Series from Picture Dekho Productions is a captivating watch. The short drama wonderfully captures first date nerves as well as the awkwardness that ensues. Be warned! A pretty surprising reveal awaits you at the end.

6. Ludo Champion

The lockdown crackdown was so intense in 2020 that it made us unravel the past and revive the iconic “LUDO” game from our childhoods. This series on Rizzle is an ode to every type of emotion and perilous situation Ludo lovers go through during the game. RVCJ’s Saurabh Ghagde, Shravan Kshirsagar, Aditya Pawar, and Hrishikesh Dalvi start the series as loveable friends but end up as nemeses when the game intensifies. From “Shakuni Mama” style dice throws to “humaarewahanaise hi khelte he” rule changes to devious cheating to revenge, this series is a must-watch for all Ludo lovers!

7. Love WithShayar

This romantic series is a special one for many reasons. For one, it stars power Rizzler, Khyati Sharma in association with popular production house — RVCJ Media. With only 18 episodes, each only lasting less than a minute, the beautiful lines will mercilessly tug at your heartstrings. Not to mention the “Shayar” (poet) of the series played by Tushar Goyal is gonna make you ladies swoon with his perfectly delivered poetic prose.

8. Acting Guru

Yet another RVCJ production makes it to the list. The series stars Zuber Shaikh who plays Sameer Sir, the arrogant acting “guru” who won’t acknowledge his failure. Rashmi, played by Pragati Katiyar, is an up and coming actress who holds Sameer Sir in high regard and dotes on his every word since he is her guruji. What she doesn’t know is that the once acclaimed acting know-it-all is now a washed down “junior artist”. When fate reunites them, it isn’t in the most ideal of places and times for Sameer since he plays a servant who has but a single line in the entire script, and his pupil Rashmi plays the titular role. The series will make you laugh and cringe at Sameer’s antics when he is not given a green room, and as his natural reactions are mistaken for being improv when Rashmi’s character harshly insults him.

9. Astrologer Girlfriend

We all have that superstitious friend in our life whose every life decision revolves around zodiac signs. This comedy series by ThisIsSumesh stars him and Poonam Raheja as his astrologer girlfriend. Sumesh is floored by his girl’s over-reliance on astrology in every little detail of their life. From no blue jeans on Sundays to no eating with your right hand on Monday to no nail trimming on Thursdays to Rashis to random lemon and chilies hanging from his hoodie, Sumesh feels like an oddly experimented upon guinea pig.

This zodiac takeover gets too intense for Sumesh as he is forced to set up a devious plan in motion to break up from the “Astrologer Girlfriend”.

10. Love Triangle

True to its name, this hilarious series is a classic entanglement between a guy and his girlfriend and best friend! The story follows Akash and his girlfriend as they balance their tumultuous relationship while dealing with Akash’s best friend Shruti. In a twist of events, Shruti seems to tag along with the duo causing the girlfriend to doubt Akash’s commitment to her. From trivia about his first kiss to hijacking date-nights to dress-fittings, Shruti finds herself interfering with the couple’s life. Watch this series if you’re looking for some light comedy! If 2020 was so full of entertainment and laughter on Rizzle, here’s hoping for an even more epic 2021. There are several other series from various talented creators and artists on the platform. Go ahead and start the binge-fest on Rizzle!
