“When I told my mother I was a restaurant critic . . .

Mimi Sheraton

she said, ‘What do you want to do that for?   A man works hard, he has his own place, he has a successful business, a wife, children.  All is well. Then in walks big mouth.’”

   — Mimi Sheraton 4/11/2012 during a talk at the New York Tenement Museum.(Sheraton  served as restaurant critic for The New York Times, from 1975 to 1983.)
