Getting a New Orleans critic to take the reviewer job at the New York Times would be a seriously awesome development. Would help bring in a more national perspective (and readership) to NYC restaurant reviewing, one would think. And bringing in a critic from New Orleans, a city that represents one of America’s greatest and most unique regional cuisines (and one of the birthplaces of America’s cocktail culture), would hopefully result in some solid reviewing reflective of “outside the tri-state area” context and culture. The Tocqueville approach, of sorts (the French writer, not the Union Square restaurant). SUTTON approves. →
