Frank Bruni

Thank you New York Times for finding Frank Bruni. He writes with the same balance of honesty and elegence I loved in William Grimes.

For a classic, Another Shade of Elegence: Bouley

Amanda Hesser says "????"

"Masa is my last review as the interim restaurant critic. After several visits, my impressions are firm: four stars when dining at the sushi bar and three stars at the tables. If forced, I could settle on one, but I would rather not. Instead, I will look forward to reading, in the future, what The Times's new permanent critic, Frank Bruni, thinks of it."

Amanda Hesser deferes her stars to Frank Bruni. Hey if she can't choose then her decision was not a bad one. I wonder if its the first time ever that a restaurant got a "????"
