About
The Charlottesville 29 answers the question: if there were just 29 restaurants in Charlottesville, what would be the ideal 29? For background, see these early posts on the site’s organizing principle, the reason for the number 29, and the project’s inherent flaws.
The Charlottesville 29 was founded by Simon Davidson, who has written about Charlottesville food for more than ten years, for publications like The Charlottesville 29, C-VILLE Weekly, Eater, and The Local Palate. Entries into The Charlottesville 29 are based on his Charlottesville restaurant experiences, which number in the thousands.
