Hi, and welcome back to Bench Report! I'm heading out to Charlottesville next week and I am soliciting any and all food recs. I might even go to the Lawn and delude myself into thinking I can still pass for a college student. Send those dinner reservation ideas, news, tips and feedback to [email protected] and follow me on Twitter at @jacq_thomsen.
