Beacher, too. Heartsick over what happened, because Tech was the other school I got into (went to ECU). Lots of friends/family are alum/current students, so it's hitting me hard. The memory of cracking crabs on picnic tables covered w/ newspaper and plenty of beer on ice helps a lot, so thanks. I’m a Va. Beacher, too.

My fondest culinary memory of Virginia is snarfing traditional Virginia-style BBQ: shredded not pulled pork, with a mild tomato base sauce, covered with cole-slaw on a plain white hamburger bun. Heaven! Don’t forget pork BBQ.

I remember, as a kid, going to u-pick days at the local strawberry fields and lugging home buckets, out hands (and likely mouths!) stained red. <br/><br/>The winemaking region in central VA is growing...when I was there, there was maybe one decent dessert wine from Barboursville, but now I hear there are several more incl the one you had at Maverick, which is amazing. <br/><br/>It's so weird reading about Tech in the news this way; to us, it was just another state school, one I almost went, in fact, back when I wanted to be a chemical engineer. My thoughts are with all of them. I grew up in Virginia on the coast and I think you’ve pretty much hit on all the local foods - crab, oysters, flounder and other fish, salty ham.
