Amy Pataki, Restaurant Critic

Former Toronto Star Restaurant Critic Amy Pataki talks about dining incognito [sometimes in disguise], her 1 star to 4 star rating system, why you MUST check those DineSafe inspection reports before dining out, her favourite restaurant signage [‘No Dogs or Food Critics’], dealing with not one but TWO libel lawsuits, the newsroom wall that was dedicated to hate mail, why her readers love the takedowns/bad reviews more than the good reviews, and the fake name she would use to make incognito reservations! BONUS: Amy’s favourite places to eat in Toronto right now!
