It has become a summertime tradition on the board to rate our favorite eating establishments and activities in the Lynchburg area. I am bringing it back this summer using last year's top choices as the primary nominees. I can add more as suggested if there are some new places to take under consideration. This will also serve as a great way to introduce the new folks coming to Lynchburg to where they need to focus their spending.

Since we have added so many new posters in the past year it should provide some fun with their new perspectives. And since this place has grown so fond of arguing lately perhaps we can shift from taking shots at each other in exchange for arguing for choices.

Mangia!

Texas Inn.

Texas Inn.

Agreed.

[jcmanson]

Can we have a thread for best overall restaurant?

[Sly Fox]

I was going to save that for last. I am adding a bunch of categories shortly. I just put my littlest down for a nap.

[SuperJon]

That'll be a tough one because you have the college kids who don't eat anything more expensive than Applebee's or Logan's and then you'll have the alum who can afford the better stuff telling us their $40 steak are so much better than the chains.

[jcmanson]

Then we can have 2 different ones. The main "chain" restaurants and the more expensive ones.

[Sly Fox]

We are going to add some new categories and I am looking for nominations for the following:

- Best Fine Dining Experience
- Best Steakhouse
- Best Drive-thru Experience
- Best Seafood
- Most Romantic (i.e. the get out of trouble place)

PM me your suggestions. I'll also be adding some other non-food categories shortly including the following:

- Best Place to Put Up Family in From Out of Town
- Best Outdoor Activity in Area
- Best Place for Live Music
- Best Place to Take Kids

[Sly Fox]

Nominations are already pouring in. But I'm still looking for more suggestions before I post the topics.

And where are some of our food afficionados today? Scar, HMO and badger haven't weighed in yet (pun intended on this subject).

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

HMO is out getting his hair cut and going to a meeting... He wont be back until later, but Im sure he will have imput haha

The Millstone Tea Room is in Bedford, & Faria's Twin Oaks is in Forest. If they were in the 'Burg, they'd be the top 2.

[jcmanson]

I don’t know what else you have in mind Sly but best fries? Best milkshakes? Best place for dessert?

[Sly Fox]

Desserts are coming ... I promise.

[ATrain]

Its probably to late to add this, but what about best coffee???

[tinytim]

Awesome request. I love coffee.

[Sly Fox]

When I return home from my anniversary getaway I'll add the category with a few others. PM me with nominations.

Best Anniversary Getaways...???

[Sly Fox]

I am beginning to wind down this topic. I'll post the winners at the end of the month. If there are any other topics you want to add just let me know. I am still open to nominations for dessert since all of the choices from back in my day are all out of business. I need some help.
