Ask Stella Turner what makes her down home food so good and she’ll give you a simple answer: “I put love in it,” she says. “It’s from the heart.” Sure enough, you can taste that in the hot wings, the crispy fried whiting, and the mac and cheese she serves in York Place on the Downtown Mall.

She hopes it will grow, with a bigger space and a larger clientele since she’s now on Grubhub. Customers can order online from the restaurant’s own site as well. Estimated wait time while Turner gets all the love in? Just 15 minutes.
The chicken is double fried and served with a choice of sauces, including Nay lor’s own favorite, what she calls Santa sauce—“essentially a sweet onion and spicy gochujang blend.”

Kelsey Naylor, one of the two chefowners at Umma’s on Water Street also grew up in the family kitchen and it shows in what she calls her new Korean restaurant. “Umma” is Korean for “mom “ or “mother,” and, Naylor says, is “kind of an homage to my mom and my grand mother,” immigrants from Korea when her mom was 15.

Speaking of grandmother, “Nona” is not how it’s spelled in Italian, as Yvonne Cunningham’s customers from the old country tell her. It needs another “n” after the “o.” But “Nona” is the moniker Cun ningham’s teacher went by, the preferred name of the Naples grandmother who taught her to make the thick tomato sauce known there as “gravy.”

Umma’s co-owner Anna Gardner found was the most popular bar drink during a year spent in Japan: Wine and Coke. “The signature of the drink,” Naylor will tell you, is “the cheapest red wine you get.” And at Umma’s a splash of Grenadine.
The food scene in this town is well known and highly praised. Let’s sample some of the fantastic fare, and hear stories of the enthusiastic professional ‘foodies’ who make it for us.

Together the Baykers launched their microbakery in 2018 in southern Albe marle County, in a little rustic cabin they called Althea, selling what came out of the oven to friends, who spread the word. Soon they had a little bread delivery ser vice. Today they bake breads and pastries on Henry Street in Charlottesville and offer them Saturdays mornings at the Farmers Market.

We make a variety of pastries, including plain, chocolate, pretzel, and almond croissants.”

Jam According to Daniel Great bread loves great jam. Daniel Perry was with friends at college in Mas sachusetts in 2004, not far from a large farm, when someone suggested they go raspberry picking. “We put them into the soup pot and cooked them down to one jar of jam, and we’d do that a couple of days a week,” Perry recalls. When he came back home to Virginia that sum mer, he saw a classified ad in the daily newspaper—“Local jam maker looking for help; Kluge Estate”—got the job, and began learning the trade seriously.

I was in my mid-twenties and I didn’t really know how to cook, and she just took me under her wing and taught me how to make this amazing sauce that I produce today, along with pasta and bread and pizza dough and many other specialty sauces and Italian delicacies.

I’ve been doing that for over 30 Cunninghamyears.” has sometimes offered lasagna roll-ups since she began selling online and on Saturday mornings in IX Park three years ago, but her small batch tomato sauce is the thing. And she knows what not to name it: “If I called it ‘gravy’ here in Virginia, people would be looking for grits and biscuits and sausage,” she notes wryly. “I did a lot of chatting with a lot of different food people and they were like, ‘I really don’t think it would be a good idea if you used gravy in any verbiage; people are going to be look ing for breakfast!’” But as for “Nona’s,” without that third “n” please: “Now it’s kind of a conversation starter.”
A Great Vibe
Scan the names of Perry’s many successful experiments, and it’s hard to know what to try first. Strawberry + Sumac? Apricot + Calamondin? You can tell the guy’s a born inventor. “All the fruits have their own sweetness,” he
Cunningham agrees: “I wouldn’t have been able to do what I’ve done with my sauce if we hadn’t moved to Charlot tesville. That’s for sure. This is such a food-centric area.
