Cheers to our very own restaurant reviewer Adam Erace, who's earned second-place honors for criticism in the awards overseen by the Philly chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Erace (we submitted his pieces on Kennett, Barbuzzo and Sky Café for consideration) is in good company in his category, bookended by Philadelphia Inquirer critics Howard Shapiro (theater) and Inga Saffron (architecture). "Adam Erace's work immerses readers in the sights and smells of the restaurants he reviews," reads the judges' commentary. "His vivid commentary makes the reader a partner at his table, and he clearly understands the complexities of the culinary world." Congrats, Adam!
