Richmond Virginia

I was in Richmond Virginia this past week for work.  I know that's hard to believe.  When Starbucks started testing lunch the 2 markets were Phoenix and Richmond.  I was super excited because someone had to go out there and collect feedback so I'm the lucky girl.    It was great to get to spend a week with my folks.  Nicest Bed and Breakfast work has ever provided!  One night we went out to dinner at this local restaurant called the Brickhouse Diner.  All of us ordered burgers.  I got the basic Burger with cheddar and bacon, dad just got the cheese burger and mom got the mushroom burger. 
It was one of the best burgers I have had in a long time!  You could tell it was fresh, not frozen, and big and juicy.  One of those burgers that when you bite into it, the juice just runs down your chin.  Perfectly cooked.  The bun was a nice sturdy bun that held together with all of the juice.  The bacon was crispy and there was plenty of it.  It was so big that I couldn't even eat  half of it and ended up taking it home.  2 days later I heated it up and finished it off.   Fries were also good but not great.  Mom said the fries were her favorite but I thought they were just good.  They were piled high and the very skinny shoestring type.
I would give the burger the highest score possible and would go back next time I'm in town. 
Of course the company for the evening was the best!
