Tom Sietsema on DC Dining
from The Friday Reporter Hosted by Lisa Camooso Miller
The Friday Reporter opens 2026 with a conversation at the intersection of food, media and reinvention. Longtime Washington, D.C. restaurant critic Tom Sietsema joins the show to reflect on his departure from The Washington Post and the next chapter of his career. We look back at some of his most influential restaurant reviews, how food has evolved in Washington and what great dining looks like when the spotlight is off. Tom also shares what he’s cooking at home, where he eats when he wants a reliable local favorite and how he thinks about restaurants now that he’s no longer reviewing them for the paper. A thoughtful, behind-the-scenes conversation about taste, trust and life after one of the most recognizable roles in food journalism — and a smart way to start the year.
