The Critics

Followers of Tom Sietsema's chat know he's constantly fielding flack for not reviewing enough in the suburbs. He talks about his stance today: "When I started this job in 2000, I was a slave to a self-made rule to review two places a month in DC and one a piece in Va and Md. But last year, I found myself giving 1.5 stars to a good-not-great kabob place in Maryland, just because it was the best new place I'd eaten in the state in awhile and Md's time was due. I probably won't do that in 2013." [WaPo]
