"A popular German restaurant, Metzger Bar and Butchery, in Richmond turned away a conservative Christian organization last month, citing the group’s known stance against same-sex marriage and abortion rights as the cause. Located in Richmond’s Union Hill neighborhood, Metzger Bar and Butchery is a destination restaurant for those looking for riffs on falafel, schnitzel enhanced with curry mustard, and other inventive takes on German fare. Metzger’s chef and co-owner Brittanny Anderson, a Top Chef and Chopped alum, is also behind Alpine-influenced Brenner Pass." - Tierney Plumb
