Pete Wells

Pete Wells is one of The New York Times main restaurant/food reviewers; he's one of the "big guns" in the reviewing world. His review of Guy Fieri's restaurant has been dubbed "the most widely read food review ever." Wells is a gifted writer and conscious of more than just whats on his plate. Here is an excerpt from his recent review of "Salt Bae's" new eatery, Nusr-Et.

"A few years ago, restaurants were still a refuge from the electronic grid, places where we could eat and talk without converting existence into digital form. Phone cameras changed that, and now it often seems that the point of going out to eat is to post a digital image proving we were there."
