A. A. Gill
A. A. (Adrian) Gill (born June 28 1954) is a British newspaper columnist and writer. He is also restaurant reviewer in the Style section of the London Sunday Times.
He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and studied at the Slade School of Art.
He is notorious for his acerbic style, on one occasion in 1997 describing the Welsh as 'loquacious, dissemblers, immoral liars, stunted, bigoted, dark, ugly, pugnacious little trolls', while two years later he angered Germans with an article called 'Hunforgiven', making numerous references to their Nazi past. His reviews of restaurants are also known for their frequent lack of detail about the food.
