Oh AJ! Why oh Why are your moving to Pulaski? It has to be one of the deadest towns in Southwest virginia. I'll be honest with you, there is no hope of using your culinary skills in Pulaski. There is one Japanese Restaraunt, a steak house, and your basic fast food restaraunts. That's it! You would have to go to the Christiansburg/Blacksburg area (30min north) to find anything even close to fine dining opportunities.

I live about 15 minutes out of Pulaski so I say these things from first hand experience. It's depressing. The local government is making an effort to improve the town but it will be a number of years before that dream comes true.

Pulaski is not far from Blacksburg(30 mins) & Roanoke (1hr). Roanoke was named the top city in the state with the most restaurants per capita. Since tourism is getting bigger here this region is a good place to locate.

Unfortunately my friend, in the roanoke and surrounding area even as far as Lynchburg. There really is nothing that will be a credible use of your culinary talents. I am a graduate of the Culinary Institue of America and have searched the area thoroughly. about the only way you will find something is if you open it yourself.

I would recommend that you contact the Town House Grill in Chilhowie, VA. It's about a 45 minute drive from Pulaski, and is hands down the best restaurant in all of southwest VA. Exec Chef came from Alinea, and the Pastry Chef used to be head of pastry at Charlie Trotter's. Check out their blog: Town House Blog
