What an example of excellent journalistic skills! 👏 I miss doing such reports (not on restaurants necessarily). All your points basically say: respect your reader enough to uncover interesting details and angles from people and context, make the story *good*.
Thank you! I think a lot of respect for the reader has gone down the drain when journalism started shortening and simplifying things. Only, not everything should be simplified, made more palatable, or shortened at all.
I loved this and now am inspired to do at least one restaurant review like this- and since this is a lot of work- so it may take me a while..stay tuned.
Yes, it is like a mini research project, that is what I love about it. I wonder how easy/difficult it will be to get some of the info on the social and environmental impact, treatment of employees. cost of food etc.

Absolutely agree! Journalism evolved (regressed?) from being the 4th power in a democracy to being a for-profit business... 😔
And in gastronomy is even more visible, unfortunately. It’s some #adv everywhere
Yeah, "branded content"...
It’s always and just that. Most articles are paid for/invited/etc.
“We’re not reading tarot” 👏🏼
Great article!

It does take time (and possibly several visits) but at least it avoids the usual tropes we all rirsk to fall into
