										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keystone Grill located inside the Keystone Antique Truck &amp; Tractor Museum</p>
<p>What a great place for breakfast, and guess what – you can get up late and still have Pancakes, Eggs, an Omelet, a Waffle, because Keystone Grill serves breakfast and lunch all day! The lunch menu offers Burgers, Sandwiches, BBQ, Salads, Hot Dogs, Ribs, Chicken &amp; more. They have milkshakes and ice cream cones too. Be sure that you take a photo in front of the LOVE sign out front and when you come in take a selfie with Big Boy too. It is all fun, and delicious.</p>
<p>If you have not toured the Keystone Antique Truck &amp; Tractor Museum, it opens at 10 so schedule your breakfast or lunch so that you can see the hundreds (not an exaggeration) of tractors, trucks, incredible classic cars and so much more. When you are dining, you can look in and see a small portion of the museum collection and you will not believe it until you see it all.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="fullwidth">Four generations are operating a beautiful 800-acre dairy farm and creamery in western Dinwiddie County that has been operating since the mid-1700s. Their fresh from the cow milk and ice cream is available in the new creamery. The family-owned Richlands Dairy Farm has been a fixture on Route 460 in Blackstone for many years. It now reaches new heights of popularity with the opening of the Creamery. How can you possibly pass by this new landmark without stopping for a delicious ice-cream in a freshly made waffle cone? Their mission and vision are summed up in “Honest to Goodness Dairy”.  What does that mean? They are transparent in their operation, taking care of their cows with the highest of standards, installing large windows for visitors to look through to the milk plant, conducting tours of the farm so that everyone can see exactly what they are doing. Not only that, a very important part of their mission is giving back to their community as they commit to giving away one gallon of milk to a needy family or to a food bank for every 10 that they sell. Commendable business practices and. oh, my…. the ice-cream is AMAZING!  And you can order country style delicious food for lunch and dinner. Be sure to try it!</p>
<p class="fullwidth">October is Fall Festival and every weekend, so get everybody in the car and tour the farm, go on a hayride, select your pumpkin, navigate a corn maze, milk a cow, have some ice cream and really see what farm life and a creamery is like. Group tours can be scheduled during May – October and watch the calendar for Dinners on the Dairy. This is a VA farm that’s all about using Virginia products.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Brickhouse Run, guests experience all the hearty friendliness and rustic joviality of an English pub in the middle of Old Towne Petersburg. Owned by Drew and Johanna Phelan, Brickhouse Run has authentic pub dishes like shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, and fish and chips, as well as menus featuring fresh local ingredients that change with the seasons.</p>
<p>Of course, like any good pub, Brickhouse has a wide selection of English beers and ales. “It is not meant to feel like a pub which has been plucked from a town in the British countryside and dropped in Petersburg. Rather, we like to think that if Petersburg, Virginia were part of Britain this is what its pub would be like,” Drew remarks proudly.  This jolly pub setting can also be reserved for private parties and events.</p>
<p>Drew, who began working in the restaurant business at age fifteen, says that he and Johanna always wanted to open their own restaurant, which they have now expanded to include a catering service. They also feel very connected to the community, and in that spirit Brickhouse hosts all kinds of fun event nights, from “Quiz Nights” the first Monday of every month to “Thirsty Thursdays”. “It’s really the patrons and the atmosphere that they bring to Petersburg’s local pub,” Drew says. “That’s what makes it such a special place.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since coming to Virginia in the late 1970’s, the owners of Brothers Pizza, the Buffa family, have been committed to providing high-quality dining experiences to its patrons. Named in honor of Tony and his brother, they opened their family Italian restaurant on Cox Road in Dinwiddie. “We were born in this area. It’s our home,” says Sal Buffa, Tony’s son, who remembers scampering around the restaurant as a child. Sal and his brother have inherited the business from their father and uncle. “We try and do a lot to give back to our community.”</p>
<p>When asked about the family’s propensity for becoming restaurateurs, Sal smiles and says, “It’s kind of fate, you know? We all grew up in the restaurants. I started working at Brothers when I was 13, and I was managing a restaurant when I was 19 or 20. I just always wanted to be like my dad.” At Brothers, they serve many other Italian dishes in addition to their pizza. All their dishes are prepared with homemade bread from the Buffa family bakery and customers end their meals with sumptuous Italian desserts like cannoli and tiramisu.</p>
<p>In keeping with the family tradition, Brothers Pizza epitomizes friendly service, family values, and the utmost dedication to their labor of love: serving customers. Just one visit to Brothers Pizza will have you feeling like a member of the Buffa family.</p>
