We're actually in the midst of deciding this at this very moment. And therefore, this is the exact reason we've started this blog -- we've eaten at a lot of places and like a fair amount of them. But when it comes time to go back to that new place, we often find we forget. We literally have been to over 75 different eateries in Northern Virginia in a two-year span. After going to all these restaurants, we just no longer can instantly recall all this information: which ones are in the day's budget, which ones were great (or not great), and which ones are just too far away (you can't just hop on a plane anytime).
We also like to give recognition to great service, great food, and a damn good server (who could always use more tips). Equally, we want to recognize those who go out of their way to make the dining experience one to **ahem** never forget, even if you wish you could.
So, that's the purpose. If you're reading this expecting a magazine write-up of restaurants, you're missing the point. We're not grading these restaurants for the masses. This is truly our opinion on places we like, places we don't, and also for the happened-upon reader, suggestions that would expand our canon of places to eat regularly.
We endeavor to be comprehensive but may not. We'll see.
