COOPER MILL

10 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA Cooper Mill, a market, tavern, and event space housed in one of Old Town's last waterfront warehouses, is now open in Alexandria. Named after the former mill on the site and the craftsmen who worked inside it, Cooper Mill preserves the charm of the brick warehouse, built in1856 as a manufacturing plant to create barrels for the Alexandria Flour Company and later serving as a Civil War mess hall for the Union Army. The two-story, 6,400 square-foot warehouse encompasses a market offering grab and go breakfast foods and coffee, sandwiches, soups, prepared foods, fresh breads and baked goods from Landini’s various locations, as well as beer, wine and other high demand market items; a casual tavern on the first floor, featuring a relaxed vibe surrounded by repurposed materials from the building; and a private event space on the second floor with lots of light, exposed brick, balconies with views of the park and river, repurposed roof trusses and flooring, and the capacity for up to 120 people. For more information, click here.Photo from Cooper Mill Website

Industry Night: The Wines Behind Fauquier Fabulous

Hello everyone. Look, I am somewhere new. You may recall the four shows out at Barrel Oak Vineyards. Remember that? Every week I would drive out and let the blood pressure just drop. And what did I tell you I did after every trip? I would drive down the road from Barrel Oak into the pretty little town of Marshall. I’d stop by Red Truck Bakery for a few cookies and then I would have a late lunch at the Whole Ox where I’d order the The Big Ox two 1/3 lb beef patties ground in house with special sauce and all the fixings. Then I’d swaddle around a little in the market to pick up some wine, some amazing well curated snacks and some steaks.I’ve always been obsessed with the Whole Ox because it’s in this little gem of a town and carries everything I want from a little independent butcher shop and market and where am I today?!Well I am across the street from the Whole Ox in this gorgeous kitchen and entertainment space called The Whole Ox Too — Yes! They have expanded. I can not wait to catch up with this incredible badass butcher and shop owner,  Amanda Luhowiak AND thanks to Laura Torpy, Tourism Coordinator of  Fauquier County Tourism I am out in Fauquier County for a four Episode residency! Watch the full episode here or listen to it here.
