RUTHLESSNESS

After three years of suffering through Ruth Reichl, I finally can take no more of her scathing reviews of some of Los Angeles’ finer restaurants.

Chasen’s was the last straw (“The Grump Dines Out,” Dec. 21).

Please grant my one Christmas wish. Bring back Lois Dwan and banish Reichl back to San Francisco.
