Hey Paul,
Come on up to C'ville for April First Sunday. That might be as close as we get to Dillwyn for a while, although we have gone to Farmville for brunch in the past. We look forward to seeing you!

Sounds good to me. Butch had looked into this and got this reply from the Brasserie: Thanks so much for your email. Brasserie Montiel & Coffee House opens for breakfast at 7:30. Our price range for breakfast entrees is approximately $5.50 to $9. We will be serving a la carte breakfast and lunch on E...

Here are a couple options in the spirit of last years Covered Bridge Tour: Helvetia Ramp Supper with overnight camping at Kumbrabow State Forest on the la...

Does La Cocina del Sol in C'ville serve breakfast or just brunch? We also had a suggestion to return to The Thunderbird Diner in McG...

The Lafayette -- I had the omelet du jour and it was OK. Not up to Restaurant of the Year expectations ( I didn't see who awarded that). The stone-ground grits were interesting, but a little skimpy. But, they seemed to be trying to please. And the black table clothes went nicely with our moto-appare...

The Lafayette Inn has been warned of our impending arrival. I said there would be about ten of us, based on recent turnout. The owner said they would have space for us. Also, Anton has paid to renew the blueridgebeemer.org domain. We should buy him a breakfast or two or so to spread the club expense...
