where to find the best stout in New York City. I came to know Biff as an expert magazine
writer and culture maven, always extraordinarily generous with his time and advice, whose breadth and depth of knowledge—one who could whip up an overview of Dominick Dunne’s latest novel or

Biff joined the staff of The New York Times in 1989 and was named the restaurant critic in 1999. For five years, with grace and humor but always with a focused and critical pen, Biff wrote about and
awarded the Times’s coveted stars to New York’s best—and sometimes worst—eating establishments.
Today, Biff continues his work at the Times as a culture reporter. After 25 years at the paper of
record, his work continues to surprise and delight.
