Fab Five Friday tomorrow

Don't forget that there's a slightly different format this week on account of too much partying (by me) in Los Angeles over the weekend. Instead of Top Ten Tuesday, this week it's Fab Five Friday. And, in fact, there will be a Fab Five instead of a Top Ten any time Tuesday comes around too fast or I can't think of 10 of something but the topic is good. Tomorrow's Fab Five will be my five worst moments as a restaurant critic, not counting bad food.

I haven't got a topic for next week's Top Ten yet, so please post below if you have any suggestions. And tune in tomorrow.

Mine is a worst moment, or what I imagine must have been a worst moment for this poor guy, from a waitress's point of view. I was moonlighting at a nice restaurant and was carrying a tray of martinis and beers to a table of celebrating guys. When I got to the table and was reaching around/over the shoulder of one man to put his drink on the table, I could feel the tray going. There was nothing I could do but watch the beer tumble end-over-end all over his collared shirt and into his lap. Once I stopped the few teetering drinks left on the tray from falling, the first thing that came to mind, and out of my mouth, was "That one's on the house."

Can't wait for the Five Worst Moments list. That should be a great read! :)

About this blog
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.

He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.
