WHATS NEW IN RICHMOND BY MILES HUGHES January 10 - There is a new owner and new menus at

the Brooks Buffet restaurant. Under the previous owner, Jimmy Cooper, the Brooks Buffet restaurant, at 536 Anniston Street, was a long standing local favorite for over twenty years. When Mr. Cooper went out of business due to his chronic illness and moved to Miami for rehabilitation in November last year, Robin Davis acquired the restaurant and began making plans to introduce new menu items. Mr. Davis believes that his experiences working in a number of well-known restaurants in Chicago and Seattle will help introduce bold, fresh, continental-inspired dishes to the menu, while maintaining the hometown ambience that has made the Brooks Buffet a Richmond landmark. As part of his plan for introducing the new menu, Mr. Davis invited twenty special guests, including five instructors from the nearby Queens Culinary Academy, to attend a preview tasting yesterday. As the guests took their seats, Mr. Davis introduced the first course: a refreshing apple salad and pumpkin vegetable soup. This was the signature dish Mr. Davis developed while working at Romano Italian restaurant in Chicago. Each of the main dishes that followed also drew on Mr. Davis experience using delectable seafood, as well as his commitment to use only the freshest fruits and vegetables grown by area farmers. To conclude the event, Mr. Davis showcased the skills he gained while working at Quincys in Seattle. His strawberry vanilla cake was the perfect ending to a wonderful tasting experience. The public is invited to try the Brooks Buffets new menu beginning on January 15. There will be free food samples for diners who come to lunch or dinner at the Brooks Buffet from January 15 to March 15. Mr. Davis said he looks forward to introducing patrons to a range of new tastes. If the preview tasting was any indication of what Mr. Davis has to offer to Richmond customers, then I strongly recommend visiting the restaurant to sample the menu selections.
