The identity of our food critic will remain hidden as long as the person is affiliated with ColoradoBoulevard.net. We can only reveal a few details about the person. Her taste is impeccable, she has been around food — quality food — all her life, and she wishes to remain anonymous. Our food aficionado doesn’t announce her status prior to ordering, as this will taint our critic’s unbiased judgment, undermine our reputation, and spell a nightmare for servers draining their time and energy. Our reviews are based solely on the whole experience regardless of the identity of the person being served or the publication they represent. A restaurant staff mustn’t be expected to jump through hoops in exchange for a good review. It’s unethical and isn’t tolerated by our critic or us. The day our critic’s identity is accidentally or intentionally revealed will be the sad day we part ways. In the meantime, her pen name is Julia McWilliams, a nod to her favorite aunt and a famous idol chef.
