Corinna Hardgrave, restaurant critic at The Irish Times, has died after an illness at age 64, leaving a significant void in Irish food journalism. Hardgrave spent six years at The Irish Times, previously writing for the Irish Independent, The Sunday Times, and Irish Tatler. She won numerous awards, including the Restaurant Critic Award at last year's Irish Food Writing Awards, and was praised for her fairness, credibility, and reader-first approach. Her husband Steve called the role "her dream job." Colleagues and chefs remembered her as a champion of new Irish restaurants who understood the hospitality industry and wrote with passion and authority. She is survived by her husband and two daughters.
