Richmond.com has an article on the 2015 Elby Award Nominations…

For those who don’t know, The Elbys are Richmond’s most prestigious restaurant industry award, which honors “excellence in the Richmond region’s restaurant community.”
(BTW, I’ve confirmed – it’s Elbys, no apostrophe. The Elby Awards, named for Chef Paul Elbling of the former La Petite France, AKA Elbys.)
Started by Richmond Magazine in 2011, this award is the top honor a Richmond restaurant can get, and the annual award ceremony is a must-attend event for anyone involved in Richmond dining.

L’Opossum was nominated for Best New Restaurant, while Mamma’Zu was nominated for a new category, Richmond Stalwart.
