Old City BBQ in Williamsburg

By

On Sunday Thomas and I drove to Williamsburg for the soft opening of Old City BBQ. Thomas’s cousin, Mason, is one of the three owners. Many of Thomas’s cousins, aunts, and uncles came to the opening to celebrate. Have I mentioned before what an awesome family he has?

The whole night I heard everyone talking about the decor and details, how so-and-so made the sign, so-and-so helped order the light fixtures, how the tables were refinished and stamped with the Old City logo. The building was a steakhouse for years prior, so the guys really brought the interior up to modern times with touches of vintage feeling.

Thomas’s aunt Nancy found the bathroom sinks, which were really cool cement!

They have a full bar with signature cocktails and both draft beer and wine!

The owners, who are also all the chefs, have been smoking meat and working in restaurants for years and have always talked about opening their own. This is their year! The menu features Southern favorites, all with a gourmet twist. For example, the pimento cheese was smoked! The wings were the juiciest and most flavorful that I’ve ever had. The upper left corner below – those are pig ears! Old City’s tagline is “whole hog cookin'” and they don’t let anything go to waste.

Everything is fresh, made in house, and largely locally purchased. I love that they have a focus on pastured meats. The chicken is pasture raised, and they are working with Red Barn Berkshire Farms, which raises pastured, certified humane Berkshire hogs.

We shared a sampler for the opening, and so we got to taste most of the offerings. My favorites were the collard greens, which were amazing, spicy and smoked, and the ribs, which were the best I’ve ever had. I also loved the tacos, mac and cheese, pimento cheese, and pork belly!

If you are ever in Williamsburg, you must stop in to Old City BBQ! Ask for Mason and tell him you are a friend of Kath Eats 🙂 Check them out Instagram and Facebook!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
