Amelia Mintz is a food critic and a Saboscrivner. That means she can write about food so accurately, so vividly and with such precision, people get the actual sensation of taste when reading her restaurant reviews. Since the government prohibition of poultry, she's lost her enthusiasm for the culinary world, and only reviews restaurants with a 'D' rating or less from the Health Department.

I also loved the gruesome greens he employs to convey the stomach-churning results of Amelia's work. Read Full Review
