We all have one thing in common, a strong interest in Virginia athletics, and good food.

That’s one reason that JerryRatcliffe.com has linked with Great Harvest Bread Company to help spread the word about both to our subscribers and to Wahoo fans everywhere. Great Harvest has 200 stores around the country, but we’re talking specifically today about the one located in the very back of UVa law school.

I’m telling you guys, you just might want to go out of your way to drop by this restaurant to try the two new breakfast items: biscuits and gravy; or the French toast.

Part of my duties as the official taster of good stuff for JerryRatcliffe.com is to try out everything produced by Great Harvest, and I will be totally honest with you when I say that I’ve loved everything that I’ve tried thus far at both Charlottesville locations (the other is off McIntire Road).

I have now taken three guests to meals there, and they’ve all walked away raving about the food at both places, have made it a point to return on their own and bring friends.

Friday morning, my girlfriend, Bean, and I joined Great Harvest’s president and chief marketing officer Eric Keshin, for breakfast at the law school location.

Bean and I sampled the biscuits and gravy and the French toast and were blown away.

The French toast is made with fresh baked cinnamon chip bread made at the Charlottesville store. The syrup is just right, and don’t forget to ask the chef to please add the powdered sugar.

The biscuits are baked fresh every morning, just like your mom and grandma used to make.

I will guarantee you that it’s worth going there for this meal. In fact, if you tell them “Jerry sent you,” your cup of coffee is on me.

Great Harvest is making you a great deal to: all week, Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. on, when you bring a friend to breakfast at the law school location, the second breakfast of French toast, biscuits & gravy, or any fresh made breakfast sandwich is free.

So, how can you possibly beat that deal? Your friend’s meal is on the house and I’m buying the coffee.

UVa students take note: the Great Harvest Bread Company location at the law school is part of your UVa dining meal exchange, and it takes plus dollars, so there can’t possibly be a better breakfast that you’ve “already bought.”

Give it a try. I guarantee you’ll be back.
