In response to drama in Dallas last week when chef John Tesar responded to a three-out-of-five-star review with some vulgarity on Twitter (and has since come out with even more criticism against the critic, Leslie Brenner), Boston critic Devra First chimes in. "When I receive an outsize response to a review I've written, my private thought bubble reads: 'Stop being a baby.' Restaurant reviews exist. Chefs know that. My guess is they want to have the kind of restaurant that gets attention from critics, not the kind that is ignored." [BG]
