The Finicky Lawyer - Dulling the Pain With Food and Wine
The Finicky Lawyer is the restaurant review site of an anonymous lawyer who does a lot of eating out, including some rather fine dining not only in the Bay Area, but all over the US. What I recently found most interesting was a list of Places I've Eaten in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Finicky Lawyer emphasises restaurants in the list that really shine by italicising them.
"I eat out frequently, whether I am home or on the road, and I am generally unlikely to visit any eatery more than once (with the exception of fast food places, which is more a function of time and convenience as opposed to preference). This is not to say that the un-italicized restaurants are not worth going back to (although that is true in some cases) or that I have never gone back to some of those restaurants. Rather, the places I have italicized are the ones that have stood out in some meaningful way from the others, whether because of a single memorable dish that I crave tasting again or because the chef's creativity holds something that draws me back".

I am pretty sure that he is a she (though I will never reveal her identity!).

thanks for the tip catherine - I have ammended the post to no longer include a gender. Just so everyone knows, I had clearly made an assumption about sex of which I am now ashamed, that the finicky lawyer was a he, when as Catherine pointed out none of us actually know (apart from CVatherine maybe) who the Finicky Lawyer is.

Thanks for the link, I've heard that lawyers and other business people eat out quite a lot - a food blog / review site seems like a great way to turn an eat out lifestyle into something others can enjoy reading about!

Actually, I think the lists are of all of the places she has eaten in these cities - the ones that are italicized are the ones she recommends and would go back to. I am also a food-blogging lawyer, and I think may be a few others out there.
Speaking of lawyers and food blogs this link sort of cracked me up -

I cannot speak for other cities, but you could pick up a copy of Time Out Chicago and get that same old tired laundry list. Plus any one calling themsleves finicky would not ordain the reprehensible Maggiano's Little Italy and their deplorable parade of nasty Cisco larder. Blech!
