Review
"Want good food without the hoity-toity manner? Quest for the Holy Grill: 50 Crummy but Good Restaurants Within Rambling Range of Washington, D.C. (Oct., $12.95) by Donovan Kelly profiles 50 rough-and-ready joints, based on the Washington Post column." --Publishers Weekly
"He writes knowledgeably about the food, the place, the owners, the atmosphere, and he does it all with a jumbo side order of humor and an extra serving of admiration for these one-of-a-kind restaurateurs." --Gale Waldron, Washington Post
"If your restaurant's too swanky, this critic isn't interested. A former food columnist for The Washington Post with a National Public Radio show on the same subject, Donovan Kelly has reviewed about 200 restaurants. While Kelly likes good food, he's not looking for ambiance. He likes his restaurants crummy...Although the book's title may sound like a back-handed compliment to the restaurants included, Kelly likes them all."
--Star Traylor, The Winchester Star
