I’ve finally posted our Daily Special Schedule. You can see it in the menu section. These specials will be around for a few more months, but we’re working on some new specials for the Spring. If you’ve got any ideas for specials or menu additions, let me know next time you’re in. Also, if you’re enjoying the new website, be sure to check out Cameron at ba21. He’s behind this awesome site.

C’Ville: Eppie’s Curried Chicken Salad
Brothers Dan and Charles Epstein are the friendly faces behind the counter at Eppie’s, which opened on the Downtown Mall at the end of April. Dan says the Mall location is “perfect for what we want to do.” Namely, “to provide counter service at reasonable prices really quickly.” With a menu that includes a generous chicken plate (choice of jerk or lemon-pepper), with two sides and cornbread for $8—and prices going down from there—it seems like they are on the right track. Pasta, soups, desserts and salads (such as the creamy and sweet Curried Chicken Salad recipe below) are available from 11am to 9pm during the week and 11am to 2pm on Sunday. A particularly fun feature is their kids’ menu, which offers mac ‘n’ cheese, spaghetti or a “make your own” sandwich option, which gives the tots a two- or three-topping choice of peanut butter, strawberry jam, honey, Nutella, banana slices and Marshmallow Fluff. Looks like these brothers know a thing or two about family dining!

Dish dropped into Eppie’s on the Downtown Mall last week, and when co-owner Dan Epstein (he owns the place with his brother, Charles) mentioned they were going to start offering some selected weekly specials (like their popular Friday Chicken and Dumplings and Monday Fiesta Bowl, a kind of burrito sans tortilla), Dish was reminded of a conversation with the then 26-year-old Epstein in January 2006, before the brothers opened the venue. “I think we can run the best fast-casual restaurant in Charlottesville,” Epstein boldly predicted.
Virginia Law Weekly: Tasty Traditions of the South
It’s a familiar refrain among the two of us. Where is the comfort food in Charlottesville? For busy young people who have been wined and dined by fancy law firms and have eaten more take-out sandwiches than we can count, there is something about growing up that really changes one’s epicurean priorities.Maybe it was sitting down to mass-produced food at the exact same time as 3,999 other midshipmen twice a day in undergrad. Maybe it was going to college in a southern city with little else to recommend but the sheer goodness of its comfort food and missing it desperately in law school. Either way, when you are stressed and tired and the primary contents of your fridge are alcoholic, simple but delicious, quick but quality, home-cooked, comfort foods get our equivalent of the Michelin three stars. Just when we are about to graduate, Eppie’s comes in to perfectly fill the ‘home-cooked taste at law school pace’ void we have been complaining about here in Charlottesville.
