I was talking to a friend the other day and he mentioned how tired he was of eating out in Harrisonburg because we always go to the same ole' chain restaurants. I got to thinking... there are lots of locally owned restaurants in the area that I have yet to eat in. I have set up this blog to give readers an inside view on unique restaurants in Harrisonburg. In comparison to the already established twincitiesrestaurantblog.com I will only review one dish at each restaurant so as to get a brief feel for what the restaurants have to offer.
Some new restaurant additions that have helped with the transformation of the restaurant scene in downtown Harrisonburg, and are a good place to start a restaurant discovery of your own are Jack Browns and A Bowl of Good. Jack Browns is a beer and burger joint in downtown Harrisonburg with a huge beer selection. There is a daily special for signature burger creations. A Bowl of Good is right outside of downtown Harrisonburg and offers a variety of foods from soups and salads to breakfast and a few entrees. If you are an organic food enthusiast, this is a good place to eat.

Brittany,
ReplyDeleteI love your introduction to your blog and the very friendly and visually appealing atmosphere.
I especially like the links to your comparative blog and the hyperlinks that send readers to the website of the delicious Jack Browns bar and the website for A Bowl of Good. I have not had a chance to eat here, but may have to open myself to some new experiences (Not a big organic eater).
lol keep up the awesome blog!
Brittany,
ReplyDeleteYour relevant introduction sparks my appetite to learn about these locally owned restaurants.
In particular I find the angle of your blog to be interesting, and am curious to see what items on the menu you choose to review. Along these lines I am curious as to what the 'signature' dishes are at Jack Browns and A Bowl of Good. I hope you take the risk of sampling such items so we can really get a taste of the local flavor each restaurant has to offer.
I wonder what sets them apart from the "same ole' chains" be it quality, price or atmosphere. Under what criteria will you base your review? Also have you considered the range of restaurants you will visit?
Either way you have got my attention, I look forward to seeing what your recommendations are.

Brittany,
ReplyDeleteSolid first post. I thought you introduced your topic well, and I'm pumped to read more. Good topic, by the way: I don't imagine the research will be especially arduous.
That said, I wonder about how you're going to review the restaurants. You mentioned you'll only get one dish at each place. That makes sense from a student's perspective, but is that enough to get a sense of the restaurant? Will you make sure to get the "staple dish" of each place?
All in all, though, I'm really excited for this blog to develop. I've been meaning to get out to more places around Harrisonburg, and having some direction would be super helpful. Write on.
