Fearless or Foolish?

The spunky writers behind Washington's newest restaurant guide, "Fearless Critic" (Workman, June 2009), purport to be different from most reviewers.

And editor in chief Robin Goldstein can rightfully claim that he is the only critic ever to have reviewed the Prime Rib in verse.
