In Defense of Food

So I am officially ending my vacation, breaking the chains of my previous imprisonment, and embracing the food scene in full force. I am skinny, weak and oh so hungry. I was told by my superiors that Cville wasn’t ready for a trigger happy food critic…some of you think otherwise.

Let’s clear up some air over here. First a little background on myself so you don’t think I am completely full of the shizzle. I was born in this country to a family of European parents who absolutely love food. If there was one time in the day where we can break the Guinness Book of World Records record for loudest conversation, it was definitely at the dinner table. Eating is not just a necessity for me, it’s life. It is the conductor to my life’s symphony. My parents have spent the last 30 years in the food business with me at their side, so inevitably, I have a particularly strong connection with food.

The Local Restaurant Review

The Local Charlottesville Restaurant Review

Judging by the popularity of Charlottesville and Belmont’s new little jewel, The Local, many of you have already eaten there and like it. We’ve asked you what you think of The Local and published The Local’s Menu.

We’ve visited The Local several times in recent weeks and now it’s time for a formal review. If you peruse the menu, you will find that The Local has a very reasonably priced menu. It hits that $13 to $16 entre range that has driven a similar success to restaurants like Continental Divide.

“Special”

From First Impressions of Hell by S. Adams:

These flocks would stroll down to the corner billiards club, Orbit (if you recall, an orbit is an imaginary circular dance electrons perform around the nucleus of an atom), or further down, a pizza pub called Mellow Mushroom (which has a ’special’ pizza unlisted on the menu you can only order it if you know who to ask). »Read More

Where’s the beef?

Vegetarians, sorry for this. (And there are a LOT of you!)

Who has the best burger?

Ready, set, GO.

Following up…

  • We wrote the manual to Trivia Night at Mellow Mushroom– any more team names that would make Chuck Norris cry? Any other trivia nights to review?
  • Anyone hook up at Carter’s Mountain after Thor’s post? Or order a sweet ‘n spicy pizza? Order a pizza naked? Buy new jeans?
  • Was this your parking job? (Oh, and I no-commented, but that’s me, like, every time that I park on the mall, and I make no apologies for it. If I get a ticket, I deserve it. But I think of the paint more as a guideline than a rule.)
  • Try natural family planning? Get a plus sign? Actually, please don’t answer that.
  • Have you gotten over the DPR deal yet? I LOVED your comments. You probably thought I was just being a smug biotch, but what good is it to promise nothing will change when we could prove it to you, within days? Please don’t worry or yell at us before something changes! Whining is so unattractive. I do it, and I am very single. There are operating costs to the site, and America happens to be a capitalist nation. So we’re still irreverent, and any sponsors know that it’s in the package deal. For example, I think the NBC 29 woman on the morning news needs to fire her make-up person. There.
  • ID Thor? Thor, you rocked for posting this.
  • Ladies, did any of you actually dress up as something other than a “Sexy ___”? Fill in the blank. The word “ho” has no meaning to me any more. Halloween. Yawn.
  • And, cleaning up the show with both the “Hey thanks, ASSHOLE” award and the voter’s choice for “Guy I hope I’ve never made out with,” Timm-ay just wrote about his boob-epiphany, now open to the only-a-C-cup women after being used by a DD who is, apparently, representative of all large-chested women in the world. “Humor”? [Cue crickets chirping.] Sorry timm-ay.
  • Finally, did anyone notice our new tagline on the homepage? (Am I the last one to notice it?) Anyway, yeah.
