Post #1 - December 30th, 2020, 1:49 pmI am sorry to announce the passing of Dennis Ray Wheaton, the former food critic at Chicago Magazine (until 2009), this past weekend. Dennis was a Sociology Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and collaborated with Glenn Carroll on several scholarly articles about authenticity. He would attend sociology conferences over the years. I found him the most important food critic in Chicago in his heyday. He was respected by sociologists who loved restaurants. He was twice a nominee for the JBF award for best restaurant critic.
Let us hope that the restaurants in heaven have indoor dining.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik

I can't believe he is really gone. It gives some me comfort to know that he did not suffer and lived his life on his own terms.
