I have heard about the amazing food on the Virginia Tech campus but had never experienced it myself. After a trip to the West End Market, I was shocked to see grilled flank steak, homemade marinara sauce, cheese tortellini, and cheeseburgers packed with hickory barbeque sauce, ham, and the works. Why was I here? To meet Krista Gallagher and Kris Schoels, the authors of a new cookbook, A Taste of Virginia Tech, which comes out this fall. In addition to the creations at West End, the book will feature recipes from all over Blacksburg. These two have been working hard traveling to various restaurants, tasting food, and learning the stories behind the owners and chefs of our area. Be sure to check it out at your local bookstore!
