Gael Greene (December 22, 1933 – November 1, 2022) was an American restaurant critic, author, and novelist. She became New York magazine's restaurant critic in fall 1968, at a time when most New Yorkers were unsophisticated about food and there were few chefs anyone knew by name,[citation needed] and for four decades both documented and inspired the city's and America's growing obsession with food. She was a pioneering "foodie."[1]
