Hillary Dixler Canavan is Eater's restaurant editor and the author of the publication's debut book, Eater: 100 Essential Restaurant Recipes From the Authority on Where to Eat and Why It Matters (Abrams, September 2023). Her work focuses on dining trends and the people changing the industry — and scouting the next hot restaurant you need to try on Eater's annual Best New Restaurant list.

Brenner says the waiter's explanation of the menu was "excruciatingly tedious and pretentious" and that a cured salmon dish looked "like bait for hungry cavemen." Do read to the end for an argument with the chef about the definition of foie gras. [DMN]
