Chef Jimmy Sneed operated the famous Frog and the Redneck in the historic Shockoe Slip area of Richmond, Virginia. It is now closed, but was included in the "Best New Restaurants in America" by Esquire Magazine. In October of 2000, in the same magazine, John Mariani listed Jimmy Sneed as "one of America’s finest chefs".
