I wanted to drop in with a couple of food-related news items from the New River Valley.

* On The Burgs today is a nice article by reporter Mike Shaw about a Blacksburg High School student who balances studying, athletics AND her passion for baking. Katie Olszewski says she learned to love baking from her grandmother, and she now sells her baked goods. Many of her customers are fellow classmates. Click here to read Mike’s story.

* Chu-Cho’s, a Mexican restaurant in Blacksburg, has closed. Click here for the details.

* Also, in case you missed it, we recently ran a review of Jack’s Subs in Radford. Click here to read the review.
