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.
Consider this a public service announcement.
Why do #restaurants give you so much liver mousse/pate and not enough crostini? Bread is cheap!

This sure is a beauty from 15 East.
There is great lamb neck to be had at Bellwether.
Was very happy to be at #Bellwether #LIC working my way through the most #tender #lambneck I’ve had in recent memory #EntreesForTwo

Head to Charlie Palmer Steak when you're looking for a nicely cooked piece of meat.
Who doesn't love a good late-night bite?
I'm happy to see that @therealsushisan stays open until #midnight (and even later on weekends). I’m all for #latenight #bites #LifeOfAnInspector

Sometimes solo dining forces our inspectors to come up with imaginary friends.
Are changes coming to Maude's Liquor Bar?
During a lovely meal & eavesdropping @MaudesChicago I overheard changes may be coming late summer. We’ll be bock ;)

Praise for Temporis.
Labneh is featured in two separate preparations at Michael Mina.
I love #labneh and was very excited to see it on both the #sweet and #savory menus @MichaelMinaSF #onestar

It's hard to say no to a good plate of hummus, and this one from Sababa in D.C. looks divine.
You should definitely do this the next time you visit Mile End.
Pro tip: swap out your #bread for a @BlackSeedBagels on any #sandwich at @mileenddeli and thank me later

We want this po' boy from Nana for lunch today.
A food and drink pairing at the recently opened Passerotto.
If you’re going to order the #koreanfriedchicken at #Passerotto I recommend a glass of the #DomaineduPetitCoteau #friedchicken and #bubbles

Head to Lonesome Rose for great tostadas.
No one likes the taste of tennis shoes.
Can we be done with #powders? My last one tasted like a new pair of tennis shoes #inspectordiaries
