Kevin Hart turned the idea of friends becoming family into a clothing brand. Now, the Staunton native is bringing Friends Turned Family home to Staunton for a pop-up event celebrating fashion, friendship and community.

Why Do Shenandoah Valley Travelers Keep Pulling Off For Pancakes At Southern Kitchen In New Market?

Interstate 81 is a long road, and somewhere near New Market a lot of drivers make the same quiet decision. They flip on the blinker and head for breakfast. The reason is not a flashy billboard or a viral trend. It is a small roadside diner that has been feeding the Shenandoah Valley for about seven decades, opening its doors at 7 AM every single day of the week.

Tyree Scott takes Rollos BBQ from food truck to Craigsville shop

Cooking is just a family thing for Tyree Scott. He began when he was young, but no one else in the family ever tried making a business out of it. Scott decided to see if he could. A full-time traveling phlebotomist, Scott began looking at opening a food truck in early 2026. He found a setup in Waynesboro that he liked and, in March, opened up shop. At first he kept his full-time job, but eventually the food truck was operating four days a week and it was a lot of work and that became his full-time job. His phlebotomy job took him south as far as Wytheville and north as far as Manassas and many points in between. He did that for five years. The food truck was a lot less travel and it gave him a chance to pursue his passion. On Wednesday, Nov. 11 Scott was at AutoZone in Verona. That has proven to be a good location, with customers asking about the food more than an hour before it would be ready. Rollos offers pulled pork sandwiches, chicken leg quarters, hamburgers and cheeseburgers, as well as sides of mac and cheese, green beans and barbecue beans.
