I am still new, so please move this if it's in the wrong forum... :wink:

I was recently reading a review in a very large newspaper for a Jean-Gorges restaurant, and I noticed it didn't list the names of the chef de cuisine or pastry chef... I am friends with one of the chefs, otherwise I may not have noticed. Which brings me to my question: is this the common practise, since most of the menu is presumably the work of the celebrity, even though he doesn't really ever cook there? Or does it vary by critic?

If you're talking about the review of Spice Market in the New York Times, we had quite a lot of discussion of omissions here.

As it appears you wanted to post in the Texas forum, and thought you had posted in the Texas forum, I've moved the thread to the Texas forum, so there's no need to repost, but my post may explain the last two posts. :biggrin:

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Thanks, Bux.

sdj3 -- welcome to eGullet and to the Texas Forum. It's okay to name newspapers and names names when it comes to critics, also. Do you have a link to the review? That would be interesting and helpful.
