While I understand the logic behind having someone from outside of the city being the one to review restaurants, I don't agree with it. Watch pretty much any food travel show (currently watching Anthony Bourdain, so that's what makes me want to write this), and the host almost always meets up with locals in order to find where the best food can be had. It just makes sense. There are hundreds of restaurants in Richmond, some giant chains, some tiny hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop shops. And unless you know where to look for the latter ones, chances are the person that wins this is going to miss out on some great places.
