The Stockpot Virginia Beach Bruch spread
Jasper and I met up with my “Sista from Anotha Mista” Gemma for brunch at The Stockpot in Virginia Beach. Been a minute since I’ve had bruch there, but I am normally there on a Monday night for Ramen (as you all know.)

Monday Nights are Ramen Night at Stockpot ;)
Another Monday night, another run to The Stockpot for Ramen Night! Shelby made some oatmeal at home that she fancied up by adding shrimp, bacon, and some other good stuff! She tried the new Speedy's #47 Barbados Ghost Sauce Jimmy gave us at the Old Beach Farmer's Market this past Saturday too!
Lamb Burger Salad
I have fallen in love with The Stockpot's Lamb Burger Salad. Oh, here's what I'm talking about.
The Stockpot was formerly a pop-up in the area that moved into brick-and-mortar within the past year. I used to grab a soup from them at the Old Beach Farmer's Market on the weekends - just across the street from where they are now. Knowing how good their soups are, I knew their shop menu would have to be super too. I try to explore items other than soup when I visit now.
You must eat this Carnitas Toast!
Chicken Tortilla Soup
I first tried the Lamb Burger Salad when I was flying solo for lunch. Shelby had a lunchtime commitment that day. A straight shot down I-264 to the Oceanfront, I was there in no time. They have pastries, toasts (open-faced sandwiches), wraps, salads and much more! The Lamb Burger caught my eye right off the bat. I ordered it and while I was waiting, owner Ann Galante, kindly gave me a bowl of their soup du jour - Chicken Tortilla. It was delicious, love the broths they make in house.
I finished my soup right as my salad arrived and I was excited. I love food, I get excited over it (see name of blog.) The burger smelled wonderful and the dish itself was beautiful. Nice colors, bright roasted tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, and mixed greens lightly tossed with a dressing I'm still trying to figure out. As you can see in the photo up top, the burger sits upon this lofty throne of goodness waiting to be bathed in a nice, light wasabi dressing.
I intended on eating half of it and taking the other half home to Shelby, but I ended up eating the whole thing. I reasoned that the greens would wilt and I would buy her a fresh one soon - I did a week later ;) Take a look at the burger:
Perfect!
Try it yourself. Better yet, try everything they have, it'll be worth the few pounds you put on.
