Now who in their right mind wouldn’t want this job?
ditto, jason!
Jeff Eadens would be perfect for this job.
I would like to recommend Jeff Eadens as your new food critic. He has written many great reviews on various websites about food in the Roanoke area.
He can tell yall where to go….to eat and why.
Dave Huggett would be a good choice
Dave Huggett is WITH OUT DOUBT, your guy for this job…hopefully he shared his blog with you,,,that should be enough proof in it’s self…I have been lucky enough to hang out with Dave on several occasions, where he introduced me to new food,,,no restaurants…I am always super impressed by his all around knowledge of the dish…the history of the dish as well as different preparation methods…he KNOWS food…all kinds, from all over the world which he has traveled and experienced…I’d read his reviews,,,and I think he would get a quick following given the exposure…
that should be NEW restaurants…
Just heard that my friend David Huggett has applied for this job. If his own cooking skills have any relation to the job, he is definitely more than Qualified!
Dave Hugget would be great for your Restaurant Reviewer job…He can cook anythibng and any style food you would like. He also has a blog that is outstanding. He is a native of Raonoke and can tell you about almost any restaurant in town. Dave is your man!
Thanks everybody. We are getting applications and will pick someone in the new year. Jeff, I have not received an application from you.
Dave Hugget Would do great as a Restaurant Reviewer. I have worked with Dave for a while and have never met anyone whom enjoys Cooking and Trying Different Cultures of Food more than he does.
Another vote for Dave Huggett! Dave is absolutely a food lover and explores many cuisines – then recreates them all. He is very knowledgeable and traveled – his comparison and insight would be nothing short of an asset to this cause. I strongly recommend considering him for this position. Good luck and thanks for adding this resource for the community!

Jeff Eadens is still interested in the position. Jeff not only knows the local mainstay eateries like the back of his hand but he frequents the not so known places that many don’t go to. Also, with his travels he has a vast knowledge of restraunts up and down the eastern coast that your readers would enjoy hearing about.
