Cover Story
Where to Eat 2014
The �anonymous� restaurant critic is a concept that’s long
outlived its relevance, says Adam Platt�while exposing his identity on
our cover. He’s also provided his annual list of the best
places to indulge oneself, whether with high-art old-fashioned French
or the not-so-humble taco. Plus: the best new chefs, and
those trends that should go the way of the dodo. By Adam Platt
