Bio:
I'm the Reader's lead restaurant critic and have been a contributor here since 1995. I've also written about politics, crime, film, health care, and paleontology, and have profiled a rainbow of urban eccentrics. My work has been published in Harper's, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Post, and my story about outlaw charcuterie appeared in Best Food Writing 2010. I've been nominated for two James Beard Foundation Awards for food journalism.
