The first issue of The Good Food Guide. Postgate had founded the Good Food Club in 1949 in response to what he perceived as the desultory standard of cooking in British restaurants at the time and the unreliable nature of restaurant reviews. He encouraged its members to visit restaurants and report back, stating, "You can corrupt one man. You can't bribe an army", thus founding the principal of consumer review, which has gone on to revolutionise modern consumer behaviour.
