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.
Summer's not over yet! Head to ZZ's Clam Bar to make the most of what remains of the season.
An ice cold #cocktail & pristine #seafood @zzsclambar make for a lovely #summer reprieve #inspectordiaries #onemichelinstar

I'm both intrigued and confused by the idea of potato chip ice cream.
Chilam Balam does BYOB right.
My amateur BYOB self couldn't fathom why the table next to me @ChilamBalamChi brought a whole bottle of tequila ... until the server set-down a pitcher of limeade. So clear now. And so wise you guys. #bibgourmand

Head to Petty Cash for your next taco Tuesday excursion.
I, too, always feel duped when a menu says a dish is spicy when it actually isn't.
I’ve grown accustomed to not believing servers when they say dishes are very spicy, but the “very spicy” dishes @UglyBabyNYC are indeed very spicy #ThaiFood #bibgourmand

It seems the inspectors are fans of the new-ish restaurant Lokanta in Astoria, Queens.
I wonder what restaurant tried this . . . interesting . . . combo.
I love #smores, #avocado, #uni & #nigiri, but recently learned I wasn't a fan of all of those things combined into a single bite #inspectordiaries

Who else wants to make a trip to Fat Rice after seeing this photo?
Frank Fat's sounds like the perfect spot for Friday dinner.
Early Friday dinner at #FrankFats is half price and perfect for watching state employees unwind #YuKwok @Fatsrestaurants #Sacramento #bibgourmand
