The restaurant review has long been part of The Post and Courier’s food section, but the coronavirus pandemic led us — along with newspapers nationwide — to temporarily suspend that section of the paper.
Recently, in March, The Post and Courier brought back its restaurant reviews. Moving forward, readers can expect to find a review inside the Food & Dining section twice a month.
This week, we peek behind the curtain with help from The Post and Courier’s new contributing critic, Robert Moss. He shared how he approaches a review, what stood out to him the most from the first two restaurants he reviewed and why he thinks this isn't the time for assigning star ratings to new restaurants.
Moss is the Contributing Barbecue Editor for Southern Living and the author of five books on food and beverage history. His most recent, "The Lost Southern Chefs," was published in February by University of Georgia Press. Moss has contributed to several South Carolina publications including the Charleston City Paper, where he wrote restaurant reviews for years.
