Local, organic, health-conscious, supremely tasty…what more could you want out of lunch? There’s a lot more revolution at Rev Soup these days, and the good, healthy folks of Charlottesville are thrilled. The little Downtown kitchen is steeped in the virtue of clear communication—the origins and farming methods of almost every ingredient are posted on the […]

We’d polished off our first delicious cup of local coffee at Bluegrass Grill and Bakery (a Best Of winner!) and had our imperfect ceramic mugs topped off before placing our order. Seated beneath a quilted wall-hanging and soothed by the sounds of a Carter Family CD, we debated between the cilantro lime tofu hash—such lightness […]
Two seasons ago, the nation prepared for Reggie Bush to make his Heisman run. Last August, Brady Quinn was the golden boy on the preseason magazines. This upcoming season, Virginia Tech braces itself to become "America’s Team" for more reasons than just a stellar returning defense and a top 10 place in a few polls. […]

Let's just pretend, you and me, that we got a little car problem. Speaking hypothetically of course, let's say we had a car…maybe a truck even, a 1999 Nissan Frontier with 124,893 miles on it, a purely hypothetical truck that we bought in Texas, rode to Utah, a truck that saw us through to Vermont, packed us up and moved us to Virginia.

This year, we added a new category to the Best Of ballot: "Best place to eat it while mountain biking." Among the votes we received? "Burger King."
We've got the Best of C-VILLE, but what about the priciest? At a few of this year's winning retailers, we went poking around—for no real reason except maybe some kind of weird class envy—in search of the highest-priced item we could find there. Perusing Whole Foods Market, we spotted a 16-ounce container of pasteurized jumbo lump crab meat: $31.99.
