WaPo in a Pickle: Restaurant Review Ruined

WaPo‘s famed restaurant reviewer Tom Sietsema is in a predicament this morning after learning that a restaurant he has reviewed is closing its doors. Though he asked the owner why they were shutting down, the answer is quite cryptic.

Chef @sunarestaurant says he’s closing Saturday — a week before my review runs. Why? “We want to keep it to ourselves,” says @johnnyspero

At this point it remains unclear whether the review will run, as WaPo Magazine prints in advance.
