Mike Dunne Eats Well . . .
In case you missed it, is The Bee’s new restaurant critic. He succeeds Mike Dunne, who held the post 1984-89 and from 1994 until last week, when he retired.
Mike Dunne talks about his time as a restaurant critic in a post at the Bee. Mike says:
“It was fun and it was educational, and the job, job?, gave me an opportunity to hang out with several of the more influential practitioners of the American food and wine trades over the past three decades.”
When someone had a question, Mike has always been known to always write back or call and chat about the restaurant he was recommending. Now the reigns move to Blair Anthony Robertson. Robertson, a native of Ottawa, Canada, earned a degree in English at Augusta State College (now University) in Georgia before embarking on a career as a newspaper reporter in 1987. He joined the Bee in 1999.
He’s an avid home cook, book collector, cyclist and golfer who, at day’s end, loves a good restaurant. Robertson plans to write an introductory column next week in the Explore section and will begin his reviews in January.
