Table Talk isn't a review, just saying

StoneyRiverAppetizer.jpgI got this e-mail today from a reader, which reminds me it's time to repeat myself again:

Dear Elizabeth,

Did you actually like Stoney River?  I could[n't] tell from your article.

Regards,

He was talking about the item that appeared in my Table Talk column in the Taste section today.  I get an e-mail like this about once a month from folks who don't realize that it's a news column where I tell about openings and closings and such, not a review. ...

My reviews appear in the Sunday paper. I don't go for at least a month after a place opens, while for Table Talk I try to tell you about new restaurants as quickly as I can get the owner to talk to me.

Today's column also has news about Langermann's in the Can Company in Canton.

This week's Top 10 Wednesday is last week's Restaurants in Hell, plus comments from you.

I think a better photo could have run with Richard's Cuba de Ayer review. Those onions... do not look like onions.

I thought the same thing Heather!

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.
