Eat It, Virginia!

In this episode, we explore the unique partnership behind Richmond's Get Tight Lounge with co-owner Drew Schlegel and Chef Dalisa Campbell. Schlegel, a Baltimore native who worked his way through the restaurant scene starting at the Lily Pad, brings authentic Baltimore-style pit beef to Richmond alongside business partner Randy O'Dell. Campbell, whose culinary journey spans from her grandmother's country bar Boot Scooters to international resort consulting in Jamaica, has transformed the kitchen and what she boldly calls "the best cheesecake in the city." Get Tight Lounge is a neighborhood gathering spot that serves elevated bar food while offering a variety of live music and Baltimore sports on TV. Schlegel shares how he books all entertainment in-house, while Campbell operates a freezer-free kitchen that can push out Altria Theater rush orders in 30 minutes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
