Editor's Spotlight: Chef Driven Restos

Name	Address
(1) 8 1/2/Edo's Squid/Mama 'Zu	see right table for all contact information
Ed Vasaio's Mama 'Zu was named restaurant of the decade by Style Weekly. The best restaurant in Richmond says I. And I got no problem saying it's actually one of the best restaurants in America.
(2) Acacia Mid-town	2601 W Cary St Richmond, VA 23220 (x S Robinson St) (804) 562-0138
Helmed by Dale Reitzer, the most celebrated chef in Richmond....ok, second most celebrated, Jimmy. Accolades: Richmond Magazine Readers: Best Restaurant Overall in the Richmond Region 2011 \| Style Weekly Readers: Best Richmond Chef 2011 \| They go on and on...
(3) Pescados China Street	626 China St Richmond, VA 23220 (x Pine St) (804) 644-3474

(4) Black Sheep	901 West Marshall St Richmond, VA 23220 (x Goshen St) (804) 648-1300
Kevin Roberts understands the value culture of Richmond foodies and poor students alike. Massive "two meal" sandwiches (Battleships) = Value.
(5) Rowland Fine Dining	2132 W Main St Richmond, VA 23220 (x Shields Ave) (804) 257-9885
With all the influx, the Rowlands have become the standard bearers of the Platonic ideal of the Main Street "Fan Restaurant." Superior Sunday brunch is served here.
