Mimi Sheraton, a food critic and writer, passed away on Thursday in the Manhattan borough of New York. She was known for her discerning palate and skillful prose, which she used to convey the subtleties of haute cuisine and explore the mysteries of chicken soup.
Her son Marc Falcone reported her passing away at New York University Langone Medical Center.
Sheraton had a six-decade career, working for Vanity Fair, Time, New York, Condé Nast Traveler, and other publications. She also produced 16 books, including restaurant guides, cookbooks, memoirs, and a sort of farewell, “1,000 Things to Taste Before You Die” (2015).
In 2013, she calculated that she had consumed 21,170 meals in restaurants for work purposes across 49 different nations.
