Why Marilyn Hagerty Is The Most Important Food Critic Of Our Time

    The new queen of pop.

    Marilyn Hagerty is the most prolific food critic of our time.

    Since 1957, she's been writing for the Grand Forks Daily newspaper. Now, in 2015, it's time to give her the recognition she deserves.

    Her reviews of Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesdays, McDonald's (she reviewed 4 in one day!!!,) Taco Bell, Red Lobster, Denny's, and Applebees are genuine and on point. She speaks for me, you, and all of us.

    She is iconic.
