e have Bodos for bagels and City Market for produce and, as generations of UVA undergrads can testify, for a 3:00 a.m. cheeseburger with a fried egg on top we have The White Spot. Barbeque—how do you like it? Pizza? Well this is a college town, after all. Yes, we have our longtime favorites and our comfort food standbys, but the Charlottesville area is also a foodie paradise, blessed with environmentally responsible farmers, innovative chefs and entrepreneurs, extraordinary markets, and enticing eateries for all tastes and budgets, from food trucks to bistros. We have inquisitive appetites around here, and the ways and means to satisfy them. What are you in the mood for? From locally sourced, artisanal and organic to old-fashioned, good and
greasy, if you’ll eat it, somebody here will make it for you. “You could go out to eat every day for months and not hit the same restaurant twice, there are so many restaurants in Charlottesville,” says Stephanie Levin, who’s given us our first Jewish deli. You could start at her place.
Modern Nosh Levin comes naturally to the restaurant business; her family owned a small diner in Norfolk, and she grew up cooking. “There’s a picture hanging in our restaurant of me as a five-year-old with a rolling pin,” she says, “with my grandmother over my shoulder teaching me how to bake.” Levin matriculated at UVA, married, and raised a family in Michigan, but opening her own place, she says, “was something I wanted to do. I always did big parties, and food was a big part of
our lives up there. When I got back to Charlottesville I said, ‘Huh, there’s still no Jewish deli in Charlottesville. Maybe I’ll do that.’” Modern Nosh opened at the end of January to a predictably enthusiastic reception. “We have a lot of people who are transplants from the Northeast, so you’d be surprised how many people
are coming in and saying, ‘Oh my gosh, I haven’t had a good pastrami sandwich since I left New York,’ or ‘Oh my gosh, matzo ball soup; the last time I had that we were in D.C.’ So they’re pleasantly surprised they can get the food they miss. Or they’ve come in and said ‘I’ve heard of this, I need to try this now.’” The Reuben sandwiches, from the Traditional side of the menu, and the Combo Reuben (with pastrami added to the corned beef) from the Modern side, are Levin’s biggest selling sandwiches. Matzo ball soup and Latkes draw folks looking for comfort food, as does the Sweet Noodle Kugel, an egg casserole topped with crunchy sugar and cinnamon. The “Colossal” slice of New York style cheesecake is over three inches high. As for Levin, she really likes the Reuben Fries (Modern), a Rueben sandwich sans bread on top of “a good thick cut sidewinder fry.”

used to be the cook for the school program, and would have all her children in the kitchen cooking.” And like Levin, the dishes she and her husband prepare are redolent of home. “In my husband’s town there are small window places where the chicken is on the rotisserie, and the whole chicken, necks, or just wings can be ordered and given to the customers with some sauce on top. Once it is served,
You can pick your blend at Guajiros—loosely translated as “a man from the countryside”—but it’s a good idea to start with Cuban toast (baked with lard, buttered, and toasted on a panini press) and Cuban coffee: espresso, that is, with caramelized sugar. The Cafecito is a double shot. The Cortadito, Danilo’s favorite, is a double shot topped off with steamed milk. The colada, a quadruple shot with sugar but no milk, is highly popular in Miami, and is meant to be shared. “It’s more of a social act,” Danilo says. “You buy at a ventalita [one of the little hole in the wall windows that dot the city]. People are usually very thankful when you show up with this four-ounce cup in hand—they know what’s going down!” Besides Cuban coffee, the brothers’ bestsellers are their three Cuban sandwiches: the El Cubano with ham, seasoned pork, and Swiss cheese, the

Pulled Pork, marinated in Caribbean style sauce, mojo crillo, and the Pan con Bistec (Steak). Postelitos are pastry shells filled with guava (or guava and cheese), a Caribbean fruit, “very similar to strawberry jam” and “a very Miami thing,” Danilo says. Maicitos is “like a poor people’s mac and cheese,” but with roasted corn instead of macaroni, and one of three house sauces, topped off with crushed chips for crunchiness. It’s a street food made by Columbians, but mostly made in Miami, Danilo explains. The traditional Puerto Rican dish Tostones Rellenos consists of green plantain cups fried and stuffed with chicken, pork, steak, or beans and cheese. Each protein is paired with its

After all the bills are paid, after all my employees are paid at the end of the year, we’re going to take all the money and pick some local non-profits that aren’t big, that don’t get big national recognition or funding, and give back.”
people keep walking while enjoying their chicken.” “We are known for our chicken,” she says—chicken that is brined, marinated for 24 hours, then slowly cooked in a Peruvian charcoal oven. “Our most popular item in the menu is La Familia,” a whole chicken, three sides, and two salsas. Street food sides like grilled jalapeños are also popular, as well as tacos and the Cemita sandwich (meat, avocado, Oaxaca cheese, papalo, red onions, and a slice of ham). Al Carbon’s Street Corn—served on the cob with mayo and cotija cheese, and sprinkled with chili powder and lime zest—is grilled over charcoal like the corn Hernandez would buy and eat with family and friends as they walked back to their cars after church. “Since we opened, we wanted this place to be where we eat together as a family,” Hernandez says: “just like we did growing up!”
Al Carbon Charlottesville has a plethora of restaurants, markets and food trucks serving modestly priced Latin American food, and two sit side by side in Woodbrook Shopping Center. Myriam and Claudio Hernandez opened Al Carbon (“to the charcoal”) there in 2014, selling “street food from Mexico,” as Myriam describes it. Like Levin, Hernandez learned her way around the kitchen as a child, from her grandmother who lived with the family and helped to raise her. “She
Just across a patio from Al Carbon is another family venture, opened just this April: Guajiros Miami Eatery, the brainchild of Harvey and Danilo Mayorga. Born in Costa Rica, the brothers were raised in Nicaragua and Miami, and have been in the restaurant business for over a decade. Danilo was in between projects and driving home to Miami after a cross-country trip when Harvey called from Al Carbon. “He said, ‘I have an idea,’” Danilo recalls. “Miami is an international port,” Danilo continues, “so you find people from all over the world. We figured we would come up with a concept that’s native to Miami, a little blend of all the different cultures.”

Sous Poulet (chicken with gravy) is a Haitian dish “Javier has essentially made his own,” Pierre says. “It has a little bit of a kick, slightly sweet, a sweet heat.” Most popular is the Jerk Chicken, but the Caribbean Seasoned Slow Roasted Pulled Pork is a close second, except on Fridays: “When we do Oxtail Fridays, that one tends to be the winner.”

Right now, Danilo is partial to the Pan con Croqueta: ham croquettes that are ground, breaded, fried and mashed, plus Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, and tomato. “You get a lot more flavors with the Cuban sandwich or the pulled pork, but the ham croquette does the job. It makes me happy.”
Over at Feast, in the collection of gourmet shops known as Main Street Market on West Main Street, sandwich maker Dan Frosaker has offered over 70 different sandwiches from 70 different countries so far in a weekly series he calls Sandwiches of the World. “We started this in March of 2018 as a way to learn more about different cuisines,” Frosaker says, “and I hope to keep it going until March of 2020. When possible, I try to recreate a sandwich that is famous in the country. When a country doesn’t have a signature sandwich, I will take pieces of the cuisine of that country and put a Feast spin on it.”

Pearl Island Café “Soul of the City” is the slogan you see inside the Jefferson School City Center room that Pearl Island Café shares with VU Noodles, and Caribbean soul is what Pearl Island serves. “We wanted to do something that shows where we are, location-wise, but is also an ode to the history of the Jefferson School, and that space being the soul of the city,” says Pearl Island owner Sober Pierre, who created the café with Executive Chef Javier Figueroa-Ray. “What we’re trying to capture is the essence of the Caribbean. Javier brings more of an Afro-Latino perspective, being Puerto Rican, and my background is Haitian. Jamaican cuisine is always easily identifiable, and that particular cuisine is one that we also wanted to feature. We try to mix it up a bit.” Their Haitian-style coleslaw, Pikliz (“spicy” in Haitian Creole) is made from cabbage, carrots, onions, citrus

The unfairly unloved South Korean street toast was a cabbage, carrot and egg combo, fried and served on white bread with chili sauce. “It was great. I could eat it for breakfast every day, but it didn’t really take off,” Frosaker says. His mouthwatering line-up for the next couple of months includes Thai fried chicken, Jamaican Jerk Chicken, hot roast beef from Costa Rica, fried fish from New Zealand, and a concoction with egg and beets from Australia. Creative cooks work long hours. Where do they go for a bite when they leave their own kitchens? “Mas Tapas, The Alley Light, and Tavola,” Levin says. “Those are my top three and they’re each different.”
“My kids like Bodos,” Hernandez answers, “and my husband and I enjoy the Ivy Inn Restaurant or Public Fish and Oyster.” Mayorga is impressed with Brazos Tacos in IX Park, and is partial to the Super Amanecer Latino Market near the 250 bypass on Route 29. “They sell great papusas there. I’m making a tradition of every Sunday getting papusas after work. I’m calling it Papusa Sunday.” Frosaker lives near Taste of China, and eats there with his wife every couple of weeks. “We always go for the Crispy Beef with Green Onion Szechuan style, and then try something else. I also recently went to Guajiros Miami Eatery,” he adds. “I had a great Cubano and plantain chips.”

Choosing the Best
HOME IMPROVEMENTS for Home Sellers
Quality of Life
BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER
I
f you plan to sell your home and your roof looks old, your kitchen is outdated, or your front door isn’t welcoming, you may wonder whether to remodel before going on the market. Will any of what you invest come back to you when you sell? And how would you know? A good place to do preliminary research is Remodeling Magazine’s 2019 Cost vs Value Report (CVR) at costvsvalue. com. Remodeling’s annual article compares cost estimates for remodeling projects and REALTOR® estimates of what each one adds to a home’s value at sale. The result gives homeowners an idea of the percentage of a project’s cost they may be able to recoup when their home sells. National results are available as are figures by region and city. Central Virginia is represented by both Roanoke and Richmond. While these figures are a good place to start, your REALTOR®—who is familiar not only with your home but with others in your neighborhood that have sold recently—is always your best source of information.
Curb Appeal Curb appeal is critical for getting a home sold, and many projects that add
to its outside appearance can also offer other benefits along with a nice return on investment. For example, the CVR reports that replacing your entry door with a new steel door returns 80.6 percent in Roanoke and 70.5 percent in Richmond. Not only does the new door improve your home’s appearance, but it also adds an element of security. New windows are popular in both locations, with wood being preferred in Roanoke at 74.1 percent and vinyl in Richmond at 74.8 percent. Windows are an upgrade that not only improve your home’s appearance but add value in the form of energy savings. Similarly, an asphalt roof replacement has a reasonable rate of return— over 79 percent—in the Richmond area. Roanokers like a new roof as well, but prefer metal (73.8 percent) over asphalt (63.4 percent). A nice new roof not only keeps you dry but communicates to an anxious buyer that you care about your home and have kept it in good repair. Adding a wood deck is a good investment in Roanoke where you may recoup as much as 83.6 percent of your investment compared to just 55.6 percent in Richmond. The difference may reflect the mountain views and cooler climate in Roanoke.
lights, grab bars around the tub and toilet and wide doorways. Homes with these updates are more livable in the long term and appeal to a wide demographic of buyers from Millennials to Boomers. And in Richmond, at least, the return is high, 80.9 percent. In our area, buyers at all ages appreciate design features that allow them to stay longer in the homes they love, and according to Keith Smith with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., there is more interest today in “transitioning in a house,” even among younger buyers.
In our area, outdoor living spaces from decks and patios to pergolas are “important to most every buyer I’m seeing,” says Kate Colvin with Roy Wheeler Realty, Co. Charlottesville home buyers also appreciate rooftop terraces on their townhomes which are especially popular when they come with a great view says Jodi Mills with Nest Realty. While the CVR focuses on remodeling, another feature that improves your curb appeal is landscaping, which studies show can add thousands of dollars of value to your home.
Interior Space The very highest return in this year’s report is for a minor kitchen remodel, which comes in at 96.1 percent in Richmond. While still very respectable, Roanoke’s figure at 76.5 percent is low in comparison. Major kitchen remodels fare less well in both locations. The difference between major and minor is in details such as installing stone countertops compared to plastic laminate or custom cabinets instead of opting for replacement doors and hardware upgrades. Another option worth attention is a bath remodel that incorporates universal design features such as a walk-in shower, rocker switches for fans and
Before doing any renovation consider the activities you enjoy as well as the length of time you expect to stay in your house. Energy saving features can reduce utility bills every month you live there, and if your family enjoys cooking and entertaining, a major kitchen remodel may be a good choice for the quality of life it brings. If your lot permits, and you want to stay in your home long term, another possible upgrade is the addition of a ground floor master suite. You may only recoup a little over 60 percent of your investment, but not climbing stairs every day can save years of wear and tear on your joints. Green updates (often called high performing assets), like an improved HVAC system, better insulation, a tankless water heater, a programmable thermostat or the removal of carpet containing toxic chemicals, can also add substantially to your quality of life while repaying you in the form of greater comfort and savings on monthly bills. And you can take advantage of companies like Pearl Certification, a Virginia-based organization “that provides third-party certification of high-performing homes: homes with ‘performance assets’ that make them healthy, safe, comfortable, energy and water efficient.” Pearl’s approved contractors evaluate and document your home’s high performing assets, and provide feedback on renovations that make the greatest impact. Your REALTOR® can use this info when marketing your home and the appraiser can use it to justify a higher price. If renovating your home is on your mind, call your REALTOR® today for advice on which remodeling jobs make the most sense whether you plan to sell soon or want to stay in your place long term. n Celeste Smucker is a writer and blogger who lives near Charlottesville.
