Tourism Richmond is offering the job of my lifetime: Live in Richmond, visit a different restaurant each day for a year, and blog about it daily.
You can research, study, find information online and in books, ask friends who have been there. You can take all that information, process it, and formulate your own absolute bread truth. You think you know exactly what you are meant to do. What it should look like, smell like, act like.
