Overview

Fearless Critic restaurant guides offer brutally honest reviews from undercover chefs and food nerds dining incognito and are totally supported by user funding rather than paid advertisements. The Fearless Critic is utterly unique in its candor, its rigor, its irreverent lack of deference to the sacred cows, and its devotion to finding a city's best food, wherever it may lie. Each review is a full-page long and includes a food rating out of 10, a feel rating out of 10, and practical information about the restaurant. The handy reference section lists all restaurants by cuisine, neighborhood, and special features and offers a specific guide for vegetarians. More than just entertaining reads, these are essential references for anyone who eats out. The definitive restaurant guide to the Seattle area, this book includes more than 300 reviews by a panel of local critics and undercover chefs, covering every corner of Seattle's vast dining scene.

Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Restaurant goers are starved for information. The short, terse entries of many restaurant guides don't give them what they need and trolling the net can be a never-ending hunt. To discover the best eating spots, they want full-length, brutally honest independent critiques, the kind of reviews that have made Fearless Critic a standard setter. This Seattle restaurant guide sets out your breakfast, lunch, and dinner options with 300 comprehensive, full-page reviews. To make the guide even more useful, editor Robin Goldstein has provided 40 pages of cross-referenced lists for everything from restaurants with outdoor table or live music to vegetarian and family fare. A keeper; priced less than the cost of one bad meal.
