Frank Bruni, if you haven't already heard, is leaving his esteemed post as food critic for The New York Times after five plus years. Considered to be the authority on the gastronomic scene of New York City, the position afforded Bruni the chance to experience the highs and lows, ins and outs of the culinary capital of the world.

The job wasn't without its struggles. Right, sure, you say, eating out at the finest restaurants around is a real hardship. But, as he writes in his new memoir "Born Round," he was an obsessive over-eater which is a perilous personal history to have come from, given his chosen line of work.

In his farewell column, Bruni takes the chance to answer some of the most pressing of readers' questions beginning with "What's the best sushi place?"

The secrets of New York City dining are revealed as the pen (and salad, fish and dessert fork) is passed.
