Wow, its been 25 years or so, a pretty long run. I think Covid would have driven away most critics, much less the current political situation in DC.
Thanks for your work Tom. |

| He was an excellent critic, and there's something to be said for someone who's extremely knowledgeable and experienced. On the other hand, eating at restaurants more than once a day for decades is going to give you a much difference perspective than the average diner. He sometimes extolled the virtues of places that cooked very simply. But I eat out only a few times a month and look for something I can't cook for myself at all, not just better versions of simple food. |

He’s terrible.. my husband used to read him religiously, and we would choose restaurants based on it.
One day, I told him to pick three restaurants that he said were terrible. We went to see for ourselves and they were fine to actually fabulous. I feel like people who like him are the same people that love real housewives. |

It’s been a long time since I read his stuff, but I used to read it weekly. I’ll have to find a picture of his face, since I always wondered what he looked like.
