Hello from the road, courtesy of my phone’s mobile hotspot internet! Guess where Matt and I just stopped for lunch, completely spur of the moment?

017

Great Harvest Charlottesville, owned by my friend Kath and her husband Matt!

011

Yay! When Matt and I put our friend’s lake house address into the GPS this morning, we discovered that the drive there from D.C. took us directly through Charlottesville — at lunch time! Clearly it was fate 🙂 Matt and I both LOVE Charlottesville and I’ve been wanting to visit Kath and her Matt’s store ever since they opened in June.

003

I quickly took to Twitter to tell Kath that she would be having a couple special surprise visitors around lunch time today. Luckily she was able to race down to the store to meet us 🙂 Next time we’ll give you more notice, Kath, I promise!

I loved their store — I’m so proud of them for opening this place from scratch! Quite an accomplishment and it really looks awesome. So welcoming and cute!

Kath, Matt, and I had fun chatting over lunch, and I also got to chat with fellow blogger Allie, who has been working at Great Harvest this summer!

006

So how was the food? Delicious, of course! I love Great Harvest’s bread and Kath and her husband Matt have created some amazing sandwich offerings, too.

001

Matt and I shared two sandwiches — the curried tuna salad and the tofu pesto, both on a really good nutty whole grain bread called Dakota bread.

022 021

SO good! Especially the curried tuna — I need to figure out how to make that at home!

What a fun sporadic lunch rendezvous 🙂 Great seeing you, Kath, Matt, and Allie!

We’re back on the road now — lake house or bust! Have a wonderful afternoon, friends!

    I love to see blogger meet ups like this! I bet you were super excited to see Kath and Matt's bakery. If I were driving through Charlottesville that would be first on my radar as well! That curried tuna salad looks like it was the bomb. If you make it at home you'll have to let us know how you concocted it! BTW I've been reading your blog for a while now and this is my first time commenting so HI! :)
