Today’s Five Finds on Friday come from Kate Douglass, the rising third year on the National Champion UVa Women’s Swimming & Diving team who this week won an Olympic Bronze Medal in the 200M IM. The Charlottesville food that fuels an Olympic medalist:

1) Stumble Down Mac N’ Cheese and Buffalo Chicken Sandwich from The Virginian. “I can never choose between these two, so I usually get both. But they have the Mac N’ Cheese in an appetizer and meal size which is great.”

2) Pepperoni Pizza from Dino’s Wood Fired Pizza in Dairy Market. “My new favorite pizza place in Charlottesville. Also has amazing mozzarella sticks.”

3) Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Croissant from MarieBette Café and Bakery. “I love a good bacon, egg and cheese, but on a buttery croissant? Makes it ten times better.”

4) Chocolate Milkshake from The Nook. “A great breakfast spot on the Downtown Mall with amazing milkshakes. A chocolate milkshake at 9 am has never tasted so good.”

5) Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Biscuit from Ace Biscuit & Barbecue. “I’m a big fan of breakfast spots . . . and biscuits . . . and this is one of my new favorites. The only thing that could possibly top a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant is one on a biscuit.”
