Robert Shoffner

Robert Shoffner attributes his interest in food and wine to having grown up in Buenos Aires, said to have more restaurants per square foot than any other city on earth.

He has been reviewing restaurants for The Washingtonian for more than 20 years. Shoffner has also served as consultant for several volumes of Time-Life’s The Good Cook series. In 1985, he was awarded the French government’s Order of Agricultural Merit for his articles on wine. He is a member of the Bordeaux wine society, La Commanderie du Bontemps de Medoc et des Graves.

Shoffner also writes about Washington dining for Food & Wine.
