Named the “Best Burger of 2014” by Richmond Region Tourism’s Burger Beatdown, Brux’l Cafe has become one of the hottest new bistros in town.

Located between Virginia Commonwealth University and Carytown at 1731 West Main Street, this taste of Brussels is a welcome addition to Richmond, which is being touted as the next great American food city.

“We love Richmond,” says Chef Xavier Meers, who opened the restaurant with his wife, Stephanie Danis, last year. “And we love beer and great food. So this is a perfect marriage.”

Inkandescent Radio had the privilege of interviewing the couple in August, right before their busy season began.

In this podcast interview you’ll learn:

  • What inspired Chef Xavier and Stephanie to move from Brussels to Richmond and open a restaurant?
  • Beyond the vast selection of beer and that mouthwatering truffle burger, why do customers flock to Brux’l Cafe?
  • What is the chef’s favorite dish?
  • Known as a foodie town, how does Richmond rank in terms of the quality of restaurants you’ve experienced in Europe?
  • What’s next for Brux’l Cafe?

Your Host: On this show, we’re paying it forward! Each chef, restauranteur, and hotelier will choose their favorite colleague, who will host the next show.

About the show: Go inside the kitchens, board rooms, and heart of the nation’s top foodies. What makes one restaurant succeed, and another fail? Why is the failure rate of restaurants so high? And what about the hotels we love to stay in? What makes them work, what challenges do they face? And why are we so willing to fork over a week’s salary for a night in some of these posh places? All this and more will be discussed by the professionals behind the scenes.
