Do you think they have fine restaurants in NOVA like the Tobacco Company?
http://www.thetobaccocompany.com/
Or Juleps?

Or The Can Can ? A fancy French Bistro

Or Strawberry St. Cafe?

This show is about Diners, so naturally its on that level. Fairfax has that big 'ol Diner on Rt. 29. But their idea of "fine dinning" are some joints like TJ Reynolds where college kids go on keg party binges, or Maggie's Pizza. Oh and who could forget "Red , Hot and Blue".
Really you call that the best dining on the East Coast?
New York City has rats in their restaurants.
Richmond has tons of great restaurants.
