Post by: Simon on June 12, 2010, 16:47

Restaurant critic Egon Ronay has died at the age of 94 after a short illness.

He died on Saturday morning at his Berkshire home with his wife and two daughters by his side, said close friend and broadcaster Nick Ross.  Ronay wrote his first guidebook in 1956 after managing several restaurants and contributing to the Daily Telegraph.

Very sad.  The impact he made on our cuisine was great, yet he was never a food snob.  He even recommended our local 'greasy spoon' cafe, which is actually far from greasy.
