David Burton: 40 years of restaurant reviews

David Burton has spent the past four decades eating at and critiquing Wellington restaurants. He's seen it all during his time writing for the Dominion Post and the Evening Post as well as for Cuisine Magazine. During his career he's written 2000 reviews on establishments in the capital and he's now put those into a book, Tart and Bitter - Four Decades of Dining Nightmares. But he says there's no way it's all been nightmares, despite the book's title. For example, he's proud to say he gave Peter Gordon his first ever five-star review.
