We've already given you a glimpse of how the inspection process works, but now we want to peel back the curtain a little more to give you additional insight into what's going through the minds of our famously anonymous inspectors. The easiest way to do that? Following one of their Twitter accounts (Chicago, New York or San Francisco) or staying up to date with their latest Instagram posts. And yes, these are real inspectors sharing their personal thoughts.
That's one way to get the meal going.
Should we be concerned when a restaurant doles out shots as an amuse-bouche? #FoodForThought #inspectordiaries

Time to schedule the movers.

Who doesn't love a chocolate trolley?
Praise for Manhatta.
What’s impressive is that @manhatta_nyc isn’t defined by its stunning views—they’re the bonus rather than the raison d'être of the restaurant @USHGNYC

It's always five o'clock somewhere.
Wonder what it takes to earn a Michelin star? This:
