Joe Bonwich has been the restaurant critic for the Post-Dispatch since 2002 and has covered the local food scene for various publications for more than 25 years. He does his best to maintain his anonymity so that he isn't recognized in restaurants (which is why his picture looks like it does). 
Niche is my favorite restaurant. My wife and I love it. I hope Gerard doesn’t leave for NY or Vegas someday, but I have a funny feeling…
Craft is a passionate and inspired chef who deserves this and all the other accolades he’s been awarded.
