Restaurants come and go. To get the latest on Charlottesville

which offers surveys and rankings of local restaurants.

"No, it's not jeans we're talking about here.
It's Jarman's Gap, the newly opened eatery that's giving a little
friendly competition to what was formerly Crozet's sole culinary claim
to fame, Crozet Pizza.
The Gap's trio of owners, Matt Turner, Geoff Robinson, and Kim Cruser, boast
a Charlottesville restaurant pedigree; the three have put in time at Mono Loco,
Oxo, Continental Divide, Southern Culture, and C&O, to name just a few.
Turner, the Gap's executive chef, also spent several years pleasing palates
as the executive chef at Millie's Diner, a nationally acclaimed restaurant
in Richmond....
International, rustic and unpretentious' is how Turner describes it, giving
as an example half a duck cooked two ways: confit of leg and rare breast, with
zinfandel- and rosemary-glazed figs. Yum!"
