Foodie icon Ruth Reichl comes to Henrico

Driving the news: The event, "An evening with Ruth Reichl," is part of Henrico's "All Henrico Reads" program, which encourages the community to read a book together and discuss it.

• The latest book is Reichl's "The Paris Novel," which follows a young woman who recently came into an "unusual inheritance" as she navigates the streets and food of Paris in the 1980s.
• The story was inspired by a chapter in her memoir, which her editor recommended she turn into a novel, Reichl told Richmond Magazine's Eileen Mellon.
• Pro tip: Read Richmond Mag's whole interview to see what Reichl had to say about writing, the restaurant industry and her Mamma Zu T-shirt.

If you go: 7pm at Henrico Sports and Events Center.

• No need to RSVP, just show up.
