The menu at Nounena, however, will feature namesake, locationsake and thingsake dishes such as lamp shade soup, gymnasium pasta and Cate Blanchett steak.
Bess came to Richmond last year after a running a successful venture in Charlotte, NC, called Ctrl+X and Ctrl+Yena. He described the selections there as “largely a cut and paste” of the menu found at Verbena.
