Synopses & Reviews
Welcome to a new kind of restaurant review, and a new kind of restaurant guide. Our critics rate and review restaurants in and around Portland in a trademark brutally honest style. They dine incognito, and don't accept advertising dollars from restaurants. The Fearless Critic is utterly unique in its candor, its rigor, its irreverent lack of deference to the sacred cows, and its devotion to finding the city's best food, wherever it may lie. Each review is a full page long and includes a food rating out of 10, a feel rating out of 10, and complete practical information about the restaurant. The book is also equiped with a 40-page reference section that includes lists of all restaurants by cuisine, neighborhood, special features, plus a special guide for vegetarians, night owls, and more. More than just an entertaining read, the book is an essential reference for anyone who eats out in the Portland area.
