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.
Praise for the return of La Goule.
The battle for best #French #bistro in #NewYork just got tougher with the revival of #LaGoulue

The inspectors got in on the Negroni Week action. Did you?

A case is made for the vegetarian tartare at Momotaro.
Everyone hates a dead cell phone.
The measure of comfort for the #digital age? When your bar seat offers an outlet to charge your phone #inspectordiaries

Have you had fried rabbit before? The team at Dusek's knows how to do it right.
The chicken-fried rabbit at @DuseksChicago gives all fried birds across the country a run for their money #onestar

No, that's not sashimi you're looking at from Avery.
Yes, there is such a thing as too much gold.
I was just given “gold-plated scissors” to cut (boneless) fried chicken thighs covered with gold flakes. Check please. Best not to say where!

This dessert from Bouley at Home looks like a great way to end a meal.
In the mood for Caribbean food? Head to Gladys to get your fix.
Thankful that #Gladys in #CrownHeights was out of #jerkchicken b/c I discovered that their #jerkpork is also excellent! #Caribbeanfood #bibgourmand

I like this person, whoever they are.
I’ve experienced dishes that made me want to lick my plate, but today I saw someone lick both sides of their knife after every dish #CantBlameThem

This bowl of noodles from Sichuan Chong Qing is a great way to cool down during the summer.
Someone certainly has a sweet tooth.
It's difficult to #resist ordering #souffle every single time I see it on a #menu but is 3 times in a week too much? #sugarfiend

A great bouillabaisse can be found at Chumley's.
Günter Seeger has some delicious desserts.
Fraises de bois #sorbet and wild flower honey #parfait topped with #beepollen - kudos to the pastry chef @GunterSeegerNY on these two #delicious #seasonal #desserts #onestar

In addition to ramen, there's also great fried chicken at Momofuku CCDC.
As always, it's best to be on time for your reservations.
Pro-tip: dinner doesn’t begin @ELideasChi until all parties are seated, so to avoid the stink eye from nine other tables & kitchen crew, get there by 7pm sharp!
