How come that Russ Ptacek never reviews restaurants in Virginia?

Story after story has channel 9's Russ Ptacek exposing the dirty underbelly of so many D.C. and suburban Maryland restaurants but rarely does he venture across the Potomac into Virginia. Why?

This past summer ventured into Chinese fast food restaurant in Merrifield( same strip mall as La Choza) and the air conditioning in the place was broken. I axed how long and was told months. How can a restaurant operate without air-conditioning. Ran into same thing at Chinese carry out(yes there is a theme to my eating habits) in Vienna(same strip mall as the former home of Magruders).
Come on Russ Ptacek please protect us from this stuff in Virginia too!

I was at a closure in Arlington a couple weeks ago. We follow-up after health departments close restaurants in Fairfax Co, Fairfax City, Arlington, Alexendria, Loudon. I'm pasting a link below where you can see hundreds of restaurants we've been to, but Northern Virginia seldom has closures. It is unclear why.

Here's that link: http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=273042

Maybe the ac wasnt broken maybe they just were cheap and didnt want to turn it on. My experience with chinese restaurants is they cut lots of corners, like giving you one tiny packet of soy sauce and one tissue thin napkin. Everything else is extra. No matter how good a customer you are they never throw in anything extra without charging for it.
