Restaurant critic Gretchen Kurtz takes restaurant reviewing seriously, so she always follows three important rules before pen ever hits paper (or fingers hit keyboard): She works anonymously, she eats at the restaurant she’s reviewing several times, and she waits at least three months after a place opens before going public with her critique. The result? Fair, accurate and informed reviews that share with readers the full experience of eating and drinking at each establishment. Here’s a compilation of Kurtz’s last ten restaurant reviews, with photos by Danielle Lirette.
