While I like RCā€™s tenders, itā€™s not my favorite place. Do you want tenders, or tenders on a bun? Thatā€™s it. And I donā€™t really like their sauce. Their sweet tea almost always delivers though.

My favorite chicken place is in Richmond. Leeā€™s on W. Broad near VCU.

The production quality difference between IMacā€™s and Dunnā€™s videos is pretty funny.

Oh easily. Iā€™d say more. Probably a good bit more.

Donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever disagreed with you more lmao.

Love me some Canes, my favorite fast food place. The key is to swap out the cole slaw for another piece of toast.

I used to get Caneā€™s before or after every game I drove down for (which was only a couple times a year). Loved that place. Caneā€™s opened on the outskirts of Nova so I can satisfy my craving locally now and can eat non fast food in Charlottesville.

Going a little east of the Cville food scene, anyone have any Richmond food recommendations? Going to take my wife for an anniversary weekend in Richmond in mid-December and looking for thoughts on food / activities. Will likely do a nice dinner and show one night and wander around the city another day.

Iā€™m personally a big fan of Can Can Brasserie. Unfortunately lived there during Covid so I have fewer recs than I normally would

Perlys is a great brunch or breakfast spot too
