Behind The Scenes: Ledbury Valentine's Shoot

I've been excited to share more about the Valentine's Day collaboration I teamed up with Ledbury for this month. For those unfamiliar, Ledbury is a Richmond based custom menswear line started by 2 Richmond natives who were able to make a go of pursuing their creative passions right around the same time the economy took a downward spiral — definitely something we can get behind.

Behind The Scenes: A Very Relay Foods Thanksgiving

Since we're just a week away from Turkey day, we thought it would be fitting to share some of the preparations that have been going on in our kitchen. Back in September, I had the opportunity to help plan and cook the entire Thanksgiving menu for Relay Foods this holiday season.

Find the full meal, with all recipes and more photos from the day over on the Relay Foods Thanksgiving menu page.

Basil even made a little cameo — can you spot him in the top right image up there?

You just do not turn down an opportunity to eat BBQ and write about it, right?

Richmond Magazine: Tim's 5 Favorites for Mussels
