DOGGIE-BAG LADY

As avid food lovers, we have never read a review of restaurants where the reviewer was more concerned with the quality of the doggie bags than the quality of the actual meal (“Steak Houses: The Fat and the Lean,” by Ruth Reichl, Dec. 22).

Reichl’s credentials and priorities are suspect, as she seems hell-bent on getting two meals for the price of one. It’s absurd to expect anyone to take Reichl seriously as a food critic.
