It's time to peel back the curtain a bit to give you some 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 California) or staying up to date with their latest Instagram posts. And yes, these are real inspectors sharing their personal thoughts.
I'm longing for tomato season and this dish from Animal.
That sounds like some good hospitality.
A meal at #Yafa #Carmel feels like dining at your friend’s best dinner party #hospitality #mediterraneanfood #bibgourmand

This pasta from Officina truly looks like a work of art.
It's the little things that count.
Warmed milk to go w. my coffee is one of those subtle restaurant touches that never ceases to thrill. What’s your favorite?

Look at all of that beautiful uni!
Sometimes our inspectors just want a nice cocktail bar to balance out all of the eating.
It's rare to find a cocktail bar that's comfy, intimate & not overwhelmingly loud. Battling the week (and weather) @Raineslawroom

A big bowl of congee is perfect this time of year.
Would you eat a soup-only tasting menu?
The colder it gets, the more I wish somebody would put together a hot #soup tasting menu #foodforthought

Also, our inspectors shared some of their favorites from the decade, like the foie gras and lychee dish from Ko.
