The Washington Post's New Food Critic Tells All
Thursday, 9 April, 2026

Once upon a time, the food critic of the Washington Post was an all-powerful — and totally anonymous — figure in the local restaurant industry. But the paper’s new critic, Elazar Sontag, takes over at a very different moment. We had a long chat with Sontag about the Washington dining scene, the role of a critic, and how to communicate about food in 2026. Want some more DC news?
