Best Food Writer, Reader's Choice: Adam Peltz

Reader’s Choice

Adam Peltz

If I won a Pulitzer I still wouldn’t feel half as sharp or funny as Adam Peltz, managing editor of the blog at chicago.menupages.com. Perhaps Chicago’s first food-media critic (though he works from NYC), Peltz cracks me up daily, whether he’s exposing restaurant shills, eviscerating the grammar and logic of the site’s user reviews, or torturing poor Pat Bruno. And the kid’s only 25 (come to think of it, I kind of hate him). You only have a few more weeks to enjoy his effortless genius, as he’s leaving the glamorous world of food writing to pursue dual degrees in law and international relations. Guy thinks he’s gonna save the world or something.  blogs.menupages.com/chicago. —Mike Sula
