Christmas in September
One reason Wells is a great critic is that the perfect one-liners are generally building up to a serious argument -- in this case, that 11MP's decision to go vegan seems an awful lot like cynical profit-taking rather than a principled commitment 
It's less well-known because the restaurant was a quickly shuttered nonentity, but Wells's review of the dreadful hotel restaurant Michel Richard opened in NYC might be my favorite nytimes.com/2014/01/15/din…
"If soldiers had killed Escoffier’s family in front of him and then forced him to make dinner, this is what he would have cooked"
Real heads will also be reminded of the review of Romera, a near-instantly failed and hilariously pretentious molecular gastronomy thing nytimes.com/2012/01/18/din…
