It's been exactly eight months since I last dined at Bone's, a time-honored Atlanta steakhouse. Last time, I took my family and my daughter wrote one of her infamous reviews of the place—giving it a very rare positive review.

Today the maitre d' saw that I was there with my family again, recognized us, and asked Flannery if she had continued her work as a restaurant critic. He told her she's a legend around the restaurant.

I just thought you should know.
