"Riverside Lunch has been serving smash burgers long before the term ‘smash burger’ even existed. For over 85 years, the Charlottesville institution beloved by the city’s chefs, has been putting out a consistently perfect burger with a side of friendly service, the kind that feels like a throwback. A double cheeseburger all the way (lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, onions and relish) is a comforting, foolproof order — a good old friend who never changes." - Stephanie Ganz, Tim Ebner

Umma's

Restaurant · Charlottesville

Korean and Japanese American food, from our farm and our community, to your table. There’s no such thing as perfect authenticity; every dish has a million variations that reflects that family’s history, and this restaurant is a slice of our history—from memories of the perfect piece of grilled squid impulsively eaten on the way home after a long night out, to the way that nothing tastes more like home than a Kraft Single when everything is unfamiliar, and onwards to how our momma and our momma’s momma, and our momma’s momma’s momma made kimchi. This is heritage reconciling itself with lived experience. And my phone keeps autocorrecting lived to loved, so maybe in a tiny way it’s loved experience.
