“There is often with restaurant reviews in particular, I think, this kind of impulse to be deferential and bow down to the greatness of the restaurant and the greatness of the chef, and then with great regret to say, "And yet, all is not as it should be in the kingdom," and I didn't want to do any of that.” ThinkingWantShouldKindGreatnessParticularRegretKingdomsImpulseRestaurantsReviewsBowsChef Author:Pete Wells

“Everybody used to say going to restaurants... is like theater, there's stage sets, there's drama, there's play acting and you watch the show. And now, boy, everything's just become so serious. And you sit at the counter and the chef comes out and tells you what he did to the Brussels sprouts leaves and no, there's not a lot of dancing.” PlayShowsUsedActingBoysWatchesStageSeriousDramaTheaterDancingRestaurantsChefSproutsBrusselsBrussel Sprouts Author:Pete Wells
