By N N Taleb “Nassim Nicholas Taleb”This review is from: 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die: A Food Lover’s Life List (Paperback)
If one is to name the single most knowledgeable person about food on planet Earth, it would be Mimi Sheraton. She is also –by far– the most experienced food critic in an area where experience matters the most, a field in which the expert is the expert. She has an insatiable curiosity, does her homework, visits countries, argues with locals, tries all manner of restaurants, and is never fooled by hot air or pseudosphistication.
I have seen it with my own eyes. Over the past 34 years i watched her in action, particularly when after my graduation, I would go order for her in restaurants so the food would get to the table before the waiters recognized her. She did not use her priviledge as a food critic to get the better quality food and service than the rest of the people –a testament of both ethics and curiosity.
As I said she is the real thing; this book is the real book.
