The Best Food City in the World

Eating in restaurants is my job, and, yes, I do have favorites.

Hi, it’s Kate Krader, the food editor at Bloomberg Pursuits. With my job, if I’m eating, I’m working. While my friends kick back with cocktails at a restaurant, I’m digging through the menu like a forensic scientist, looking for trends—for instance, humble chips taking over London’s fine dining spots. When I get to the airport early, I’ll scope out the best places to eat. (I’m pleased to report the options are improving exponentially.)

My job title also doubles as an automatic party trick, because everyone—everyone—wants to talk about food. They want to tell me what their favorite restaurant is. And they really want to know mine.
