There are two good choices for a December dinner in Chesterfield.
1) For those who are BBQ lovers, there's a new restaurant that is not a chain that opened in Chesterfield called Q barbeque
George "Tuffy" stone has put his own capital into this restaurant:
Ex-Marine George "Tuffy" Stone began his cooking career in 1987 as an apprentice with acclaimed French Chef Alain Vincey at La Maisonette Restaurant in Richmond, Virginia. During the four years in Chef Vincey's kitchen, Tuffy's passion to learn and Marine-bred work ethic led him to be promoted to Sous Chef and Partner. After leaving to find new challenges, he spent the subsequent years honing his skills at some of the finest restaurants in Virginia and Florida.
In October of 1993, Tuffy and his wife Leslie opened A Sharper Palate Catering Company, which quickly became the premier caterer in Richmond, the caterer of choice for Richmond's elite, including the Governor of Virginia. A Sharper Palate was voted the Best Catering Company by Richmond Magazine year after year, having been included in Richmond's 'Rising 25' three times and in Virginia's Fantastic Fifty for being among the state's fastest growing enterprises.
Style Weekly gave a review:
Tuffy Stone wins awards for his barbecue all over the country. With his Cool Smoke Team, he is an undisputed master, and luckily for us he decided to park a couple of smokers in Midlothian and let the locals get a taste.
Q Barbeque is a different kind of animal. Designer Helen Reed overlays a very modern, slick veneer upon the bare bones of the usual takeout place. It’s clearly a prototype for potential Q siblings elsewhere. Stone’s ribbons and trophies from triumphs on the barbecue circuit are everywhere. And very impressive some of them are too, as they tower 6 feet or more. It’s all reds and oranges with the occasional blue. Oversized, arty, black-and-white photos of down-home, quirky pastoral scenes hang on the walls.
Q Directions
1 mile west of Courthouse & Huguenot off of Midlothian Turnpike in the Shops at Stonehenge.
2) Capital Ale House. This restaurant features great hamburgers, steaks, chops, seafood, artery-clogging desserts, and more beer than you could shake a mug at.
Located in Midlothian Village near Rt. 288:
13831 Village Place Drive (off Midlothian Turnpike two miles east of Route 288)
Midlothian, VA 23114
804-780-ALES
Hours of Operation
Monday – Saturday 11:00 AM – 1:30 AM
Sunday 10:00 AM – 1:30 AM
With this being in Chesterfield County, perhaps the VCDL President could be encouraged to attend and perhaps discuss the upcoming session of the General Assembly.
