Recent inspection reports from local restaurants and food vendors.
You may want to know how area restaurants performed in their last Virginia Department of Health inspection. Restaurants in the Commonwealth are inspected between one and four times a year. There are two types of violations: Critical and non-critical. What's the difference? Critical violations, unless corrected, can contribute to "food contamination, illness or environmental degradation," according to the state health department.

The celebrity chef was there in person for the public opening.
By the time the doors of Bobby's Burger Palace opened at noon on Wednesday, a couple hundred people were in line outside. "I got here at 8 a.m. this morning because I wanted to be first in line," Rebecca Voss said, holding a cookbook for celebrity chef Bobby Flay to sign. "My husband is a big Bobby Flay fan. He's my husband's favorite chef." "I got there at 10, and she was ready to fight," Joyce Entremont said, laughing.
