Since moving to Virginia, I have tried a couple of Vietnamese restaurants, tying to replace one of my favorite places to eat. Unfortunately, after 3 attempts (2 in Richmond and one in Charlottesville), I was left thinking that maybe I was doomed to give-up one of my favorite foods. I cannot confirm it, but I am fairly certain that the place in Charlottesville served me slices of Oprah's ass cheeks floating in toilet water.
Finally, all of my searching has been rewarded. Being a "holiday Friday" as well as pay-day, Haley and I decided go out to eat tonight, which of course means leaving West Point (unless we want Hardee's or the local Scottish restaurant McDonald's). I used the information superhighway to find that nearby Williamsburg had a decently reviewed Vietnamese place called Chez Trinh.
I am not a "foodie," I'll leave that to my better half, so I will let the pictures tell the story. It's a good story, one that I call "Happy Belly." I liked it so much, that I was overheard proclaiming "pho would have been the one good thing about being in the Vietnam War." Nice.
