CAT REVIEWS CITY’S RESTAURANTS. FIVE STARS FOR FISH. ONE STAR FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

His standards are exacting. There is one standard.

A tabby on a bistro chair studies a plate of fish while ignoring the waiter.

Local food critic Clive has reviewed the city’s restaurants using a rigorous system: five stars for fish, one star for everyone else. Service, atmosphere and whether he was invited are not relevent.

A celebrated vegetarian restaurant received one star before opening. Clive called this efficiency. A seafood place with a leaking ceiling received five; he described the damp as coastal.

Asked whether complimentary meals might influence his judgement, Clive said absolutely not.

The restaurant that stopped sending them is now under investigation.
