It has been a long time since he was active here, but @Mark Sommelier contributed quite a bit in the early days of eGullet, especially to the DC conversations.  This does not even begin to get into his contributions to the DC dining scene itself.  I never knew or met him, but appreciated his presence here.

I met him once, after he had left Citronelle. Very nice guy. 

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist
