Thursday: Lunch at Blue Ridge Country Store: I never even knew this place existed! On the pavilion side of the ball, the Blue Ridge Country Store houses one of the biggest salad bars I’ve seen in Charlottesville. While I do like salads, I suck at making them. I think it’s because I just put everything on the salad bar that I like on to the salad, and then I’m surprised when it doesn’t taste good. In any case, if you have better salad-making skills then I do, it’s worth checking out.
Friday: Lunch at Marco and Luca: Despite the price increase, Marco and Luca is still a bargain. My friends came downtown for lunch, and I had some dumplings and soup. We sat outside, and given the insane heat, soup was a poor choice. It was good, but sesame noodles would’ve been a better choice.
Saturday: Dinner at Amigo’s (Seminole Trail): On our way to a party in north Charlottesville, we stopped by Lime Leaf, but the line was too long. We went to Amigo’s instead, and I ordered the Chili Verde, per usual. It was not the same as the 5th Street location, and not nearly as good. It tasted more like Carnitas tossed in the verde sauce rather than the 5th street location where the pork is simmered in it. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t nearly as delicious as the 5th Street version.
