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.
Brunch at Pachanga Patterson is not to be missed.
It was #brunch time this weekend and at @PachangaAstoria the pineapple-flecked #GuacamoleDePifia was the best way to get my morning started #Queens

There's a salad underneath that pile of cheese at M. Wells.

That looks gorgeous. (And tasty.)
Kenzo offers great food and delicious wines.
Not only are the impeccably crafted creations served at #Kenzo #Napa a delight, but so are the luscious @KenzoEstate #wines offered on the list #stellarsips #onestar

Praise for the lunch platter at Ambar.
Sometimes our inspectors offer up helpful critiques.
The #chitarra was a great start to my meal at #Navio — flavorful & nicely portioned. However, the #smore #icecreamsandwich could’ve used s’more work #inspectordiaries

If this doesn't make your mouth drool, I'm not convinced you're alive.
Praise for the vibrant flavors at El Che Bar.
It’s all about vibrant flavors @elchebarchicago - incl charred slices of Japanese #sweetpotato dressed with #chimichurri AND #vinegarcaramel #LatinAmericanfood in the #WestLoop

We'd love to dive into this bowl at Zaytinya.
Seems like the burger at Prime & Provisions hit the spot for one inspector.
Sometimes you’ve just got to have a #burger - like the #dryaged #primebeef #cheeseburger @PrimeProvisions #Loop #inspectorsarepeopletoo

Who else is a fan of uni?
Remember this tip the next time you head to Kiin Thai.
Tasting tip: wait until your #larb at #KiinThaiEatery is at room temp. You'll taste the succulent #spices and minced #pork even more! #ThaiFood #BibGourmand

The most important thing to remember? Consistency is key.
Amid so much instability in the #NewYork dining scene, it’s nice to see some things never change—like a great meal @CookshopNY
