Marilyn Hagerty

Marilyn Gail Hagerty was an American newspaper columnist, writing for the Grand Forks Herald from 1957 to 2024. Her March 2012 review of the new Olive Garden restaurant in Grand Forks, North Dakota went viral when it was at first derided before gaining a supportive following, including from Anthony Bourdain. Her reviews were collected in a 2013 book, Grand Forks: A History of American Dining in 128 Reviews, with a foreword by Bourdain.
