Great food back East and (sort of) down South

A friend of mine who lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, is convinced that it's the best place in the world to live. Apparently the restaurants are quite good, according to the Washington Post. So, Steve, this post is for you. I'm not going to write much in this post because I am getting hungry.

In a city best known for Thomas Jefferson's architecture, there's sushi worthy of Nobu in New York (the chef, Bryan Emperor, trained there), rustic but transcendent
tapas, plus all the other things a great food town requires: standout bread, real espresso, artisan chocolate and locally brewed beer.
It's a good thing there was a farmer's market outside my office today, otherwise I would be feeling deprived.
