There are various things about this particular article that are objectionable (including a link to an article about John Kessler, who apparently moved here from Atlanta a couple of years ago with the sole intention of ignorantly slamming our food scene).
However, despite not living in DC, I am an avid reader of Tom Sietsema, the author of this article and the restaurant critic at the Post. I have tremendous respect for his food knowledge and insightful reviews. One of the things that he does in the Post, that is a great feature that was never done here, is a one-hour chat with readers every week, in which he covers requests for where to go as well as how various restaurant situations might be handled. It's entertaining and instructive even if you have no intention of dining in DC. He is a huge asset to the DC restaurant scene.
