Best Served Hot

Julie Zimmerman posts her takes on New York’s tastiest foods on social media. She has a decent following, but she craves the legitimacy—and budget—of a trusted restaurant review legacy. That’s why she applied to the New York Scroll. Unfortunately, the Scroll chose Bennett Richard Macalester Wright as their reviewer, and Julie just knows he’s going to continue highlighting the places she, and her followers, can’t afford. When she meets Bennett at a local food festival, their loud and opinionated argument about print vs. social media is filmed and goes viral, boosting follower counts for both. This online buzz leads to a tentative partnership for the unlikely duo. The more time they spend together, the more Julie enjoys Bennett’s company and his views on food. Maybe he’s not the uptight, highbrow, entitled man she assumed he was.
