The VA Foodie Taco Trail: The Top 40 Places to Get Tacos in Virginia
Forget Taco Tuesday, how about tacos every day? For breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a late-night snack, tacos deliver a burst of flavor in a handy, edible wrapper. Tacos are so popular, we think you could travel the state and have a taco at every stop. With that in mind, we thought we’d explore a Virginia Taco Trail. Dreaming of tacos, we took to social media and asked our followers to give a shout out to their favorite place, and y’all definitely delivered. So here goes! The official Virginia Foodie Taco Trail:

The Virginia Foodie Guide to Sustainable Seafood
Seafood. You either love it or hate it. Y’all can probably guess that we are firmly on the “loving it” side of the fence. Virginia is lucky to have good quality seafood available in most areas of the state, but unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that the Chesapeake Bay (aka the source of all the yummy seafood) is in trouble. The good news is you can use your foodie powers to help save it, by choosing to eat sustainably-sourced seafood. Want to learn more? Read on!
Easy Homemade Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is one of those condiments that you either love or hate, rarely are people indifferent to mayonnaise. Better than store bought: Chef Masilati’s version of homemade mayo is thicker, has a tangier flavor profile, and can serve as a great base to many other sauces and dips, enhancing their flavor.
Locke Store Bartlett Pear Upside Down Cake
Meet the talented culinary team at Locke Store in Millwood, VA. Pastry chef, Monica Beaudoin shared her irresistible recipe for homemade Bartlett pear upside down cake here with us. Homemade caramel, fresh pears, and plenty of sugar – this cake is sure to be a hit for the holidays.
The Heat of Summer, Honey Habanero Cocktail
Our foodies come from all types of backgrounds. One of our favorite foodies, full-time hair salon owner and part-time artisanal home cocktail enthusiast, made this killer drink with Virginia moonshine from Belle Isle. It was simple and amazing, so we had to share. Cheers!
