Earlier this week I was contacted by a journalist friend working on a story about restaurant criticism in the COVID era. This summer we saw restaurant workers speak out across the country, organizing for higher wages and better work conditions, some people broadcasting painful private grievances about sexism, racism and abuse in the workplace onto a growing network of anonymous “86’d List” Instagram accounts. He is the great restaurant”), but I hope we’ll see more food journalism oriented toward the stories of restaurant workers, especially as servers and hosts find themselves at the center of many COVID-era safety regulations.
