Food critics in the women’s pages
The Los Angeles Times published an interesting piece in its food section yesterday. This is the lead:”Well, that was interesting. A couple of days before Christmas, one of the owners of the new Beverly Hills restaurant Red Medicine created a firestorm by confronting Times restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila while she was waiting for a table, snapping her picture, kicking her and her party out of the restaurant and then posting the picture on the Internet for all to see. By the next morning, more than 15 years of working to remain anonymous were ruined.” Typically, food critics remain anonymous. (These reviews were found in the women’s pages.) Here are…
