Northern Virginia is starting to become a culinary hotspot that driving to Washington D.C. for good food. As much as I love traveling for delicious food, I also constantly search for amazing food spots in my area. One of the newly-opened places that we discovered and were blown away from is The Black Sheep Restaurant located at the Farm Brew Live campus. Located inside the gorgeous 1920s Thomasson Barn, The Black Sheep serves both modern American dishes, sushi and sashimi, and a wide array of wines, spirits, and beers. While enjoying some drinks, we typically order their shared plates or appetizers. So far, we have tried the Spanish Garlic Shrimp ($14), Fried Green Tomatoes ($11), and Hushpuppies ($10).

Since my last blog post was about a dinner experience , I'm back to add another breakfast/brunch experience and maybe eventually turn this food and travel website into a brunch review blog. LOL. For our short trip to Virginia Beach, we stay at The Historic Cavalier Hotel. Completed in the 1920s, this hotel is known to be the accommodation of old Hollywood stars and several U.S. Presidents. The hotel has undergone extensive restoration work and reopened in early 2018. Our accommodation includes access to the Cavalier Beach Club across the street and breakfast vouchers to Becca Restaurant which located on the ground floor of the hotel. Becca serves modernized traditional American dishes using locally sourced produce and fresh seafood.
