804ork is more than a cookbook.

It’s a who’s who, a what’s what, and a local travel guide for the hungry, a book that will find a happy home on many kitchen counters, coffee tables, and bookshelves in Richmond and beyond.

804ork will help you learn about the food, the people, and the places that have won us over. You'll find recipes for old standbys and new favorites, inspiring photographs, and words of victual wisdom from Richmond's most admired chefs and restaurateurs.

Each volume of 804ork is a snapshot of now—Richmond's most engaging eats and the people and places making them happen. It's not a complete list, and the happy reality is that it could never be! All of the groundbreaking culinary feats regularly happening in our city will never fit between any one set of covers. Our goal is that as we add to this collection, your collection will grow as well-recipes tried, favorites found, and chefs and restaurants met and befriended.

So dig in and enjoy!
