I think he was one of the main reasons I held little faith in the Age Good Food Guide. For example, how in the world did Verge end up with 2 hats??? They don't even deserve 1. Another big disappointer was Mercer's... Good riddance, I say. I think he was one of the main reasons I held little faith in the Age Good Food Guide.

Their reviews have been dominated by a certain kind of male voice for a long time now. He's a competent writer, but I wouldn't switch to the Australian for Lethlean, I've had enough of "smart city restaurants" and blatant name dropping.

I'll miss John Lethlean in The Age a lot. The fact that he's not a chef means he's accessible to us other non-chefs and it's very rare to find someone with such extensively food knowledge who writes so unpretentiously and often quite wittily about it.
