As long as he’s still writing!
" Individual foods are not pharmaceuticals; just eat a balanced diet. There is nothing you can eat or drink that will detoxify you; that’s what your liver and kidneys are for. No healthy person needs to wear a glucose spike monitor; it’s a fad indulged by the worried well. As is the cobblers of being interested in “wellness”, because nobody is interested in “illness”. People have morals but food doesn’t, so don’t describe dishes as “dirty”. And stop it with the whole “clean eating” thing. It’s annoying and vacuous."

“Most dishes can be improved with the addition of bacon.”
PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
All new restaurants should employ someone over 50 to check whether the print on the menu is big enough to be read, the lighting bright enough for it to be read by and the seats comfortable enough for a lengthy meal.
Yet again - GOSPEL.

What is “OFM”? Observer Something Something?
“By all means serve small sharing plates, but make sure the table is big enough for all the dishes that are going to arrive, and they come out in an order that makes sense.”
“And food should always, always, be served on plates. Not on slates. Not on garden trowels. Not on planks. On plates.”
AMEN!

Thanks. Will he be continuing his weekly restaurant reviews? I look forward to them.
A commentor in that Guardian article says there will be three more Sunday reviews.
Same for me at that site. The pink font is difficult to see and actually hurts my eyes, as do the moving captions at the top of the home page.
