I miss Chinese food dreadfully

It got so bad yesterday that I cooked pao mian and cracked two raw eggs into it like they do in internet cafes. Please, does anyone know a china town near Blacksburg, Virginia? If it's within a day's drive I may make a day trip for the hot pot and rice sausage.

Good luck....I know decent Chinese food can be had in the D.C. area if you know where to look, but that's probably more like a weekend trip from Blacksburg. There is a hot pot place on 355 in Rockville, MD called Bob's 88.

Sorry, spam! I know how you feel.
Maybe it's time to learn to cook the good stuff yourself? It's not that hard, really. Name a food and we can offer recipes. Sanbeiji isn't tough, fer instance.

Well aside from letting her rub Kiwi polish into my suede shoes, what the hell would I do with the maid? Erhm, given the recent rash of outings, and your own sorry record, I suggest you not answer that.

BTW, spam, please don't eat raw eggs. It's extremely dangerous. Yeah, they do it here, but out of ignorence. It isn't like the days of Rocky. Modern egg factories are breeding grounds for all kinds of nasty bugs. Cook all eggs thoroughly. No sunny side up. Well done is the only safe option.
“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

But...but...a well done egg as a base for a hotpot sauce just doesn't taste quite the same....
If you aren’t failing, then you aren’t trying hard enough.

Yeah the sha-cha bbq sauce will kill all the germs in the raw egg. Consult a Chinese medical doctor and they will turn a blind eye to say the least.
Which reminds me, I once went to an all you can eat hot-pot place, but they charged extra for the sha-cha bbq sauce. That's outrageous. It would be like an all you can eat hot-dog place charging extra for the ketchup.
