It's the end of an era. New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells announced yesterday in an article titled "After 12 Years of Reviewing Restaurants, I'm Leaving the Table."
"Early this year, I went for my first physical in longer than I’d care to admit," Wells wrote, noting that he was "about halfway through a list of 140 or so restaurants I planned to visit before I wrote the 2024 edition of 'The 100 Best Restaurants in New York City.'" The article then discusses his "scores," which he deemed "bad across the board," listing cholesterol, blood sugar and hypertension, along with pre-diabetes, fatty liver disease and the fact that he was "technically obese." He writes that after he "got to the end of all that eating," he realized he "wasn't hungry."
