Reply to comment by gamerthrowaway_ in So is is just me or is Gersi basically the worst Italian restaurant in Richmond? by Swrdmn

Which Joe's are we comparing to? Fan Joe's or Bon Air Joe's? Fan Joe's ain't bad, Bon Air Joe's is crap.

No one is ever talking about the Bon Air Joe’s unless they’re specifically saying so. We like to pretend it doesn’t exist.

this is true. Btw my ZZQ was ok. Which was sad, because it wasn't great. And I think if I ordered wrong it would have been mediocre

See, this is my issue with that place! I’m glad so many people like it and have good experiences, nice to see a business succeed, etc. I just always want to tell people the other perspective on that place because there are better options.

I hear you. And I'm worried now it's a trend, not a one off. I think the problem is that Chris Fultz is really good, but has an architecture firm to run.

This last bit was no better than I make myself, and maybe not as good. I do ok brisket, but I'd rather buy really good brisket.

Is there anyone else in Richmond though? I've had no better
