Like Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction, we love it when we're at a restaurant, and we go to the bathroom and find our food waiting when we return.

Motorin'
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. We love this purely hypothetical truck, you and me, almost more than our mothers.
A slight misunderstanding
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."
Best Of: luxe edition
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.
The bikeoff
Y'all couldn't decide whether you liked Observatory Hill or Walnut Creek Park better for a place to self-punish atop a mountain bike. So, as we do with every big decision around here, we took it straight to the top.
A little night music
We have to say, we were a little disappointed in our readers' choice for Best Place To Get It On. Home? How boring is that? But we suppose it is good to keep that sort of thing private.
Then again, maybe not
There might be some sweet places to park illegally without consequences, but it seems that not all Charlottesville drivers are so sneaky.
The road everyone took
Something there is that doesn't
love a wall—
That's ol' Robert Frost, so let's start again.
No one there is who doesn't love the Mall—
Categories we left off the ballot
Best Interstate
Best Place To Catch A Contact High
Best Place To Ogle City Cops
Teach your children
We admit it: The word "best" right next to the word "scandal" is an admission of sorts that the media often runs on spice over substance. Who can blame those C-VILLE readers who were titillated by our reporting on the Albemarle County parents, George Robinson and Elisa Kelly, who got 27 months in the slammer for serving alcohol to teenagers?
