The New York Times has made a historic appointment by naming Ligaya Mishan and Tejal Rao as co-chief restaurant critics. This move marks the first time the paper has had more than one chief critic and aims to broaden its restaurant reviews beyond New York. Both critics, seasoned food writers for the Times, will award star ratings to restaurants they visit across the country. The paper plans to adopt a more visual and personal approach to its restaurant coverage, with critics choosing to forgo traditional anonymity, signaling a significant shift in policy.
We've tasked both Tejal and Ligaya with capturing this moment in American dining—the restaurants that are most interesting, exciting and emblematic of our times.
The chief critics are forgoing anonymity, and will not try to hide their faces publicly. Maintaining that level of anonymity... is just not possible anymore.
