Dinner with The Post’s food critic
Tom Sietsema, The Post’s longtime food critic, is stepping down. In honor of his 26 years on the job, a re-run of one of our favorite episodes: a peek behind the curtain of the life of a food critic.
For over a quarter-century, Tom Sietsema has eaten at and reviewed thousands of restaurants. Now, he’s hanging up his fork and knife. Today, we dip into our archives and bring you a delightful night out at a restaurant with The Post’s longtime beloved food critic. He talks about his love for the theater of dining out, and why he cares so much about guiding readers toward truly delicious food.
Today’s show was produced by Ariel Plotnick. It was edited by Maggie Penman and mixed by Sam Bair.
