The Omnibus  ArchivesWashington Post's food critic Tom Sietsema received some unexpected feedback on one of his recent restaurant reviews.

The whole thing started during a live chat with Sietsema on the Washington Post's website about the dining scene in DC. An anonymous woman alleged that a recent restaurant review from Sietsema helped expose her husband's affair.

"Well Tom your latest review is accompanied by a picture of my husband dining with a woman who isn't me!" the woman writes.

The woman claims that when she brought the photograph to her husband's attention, he then admitted to the relationship.

"Once confronted with photographic evidence, he confessed to having an ongoing affair. Just thought you'd be amused to hear of your part in the drama."

Sietsema replied to the post, begging the reader to tell him it was a "crank post." He also noted that he's unsure which review prompted the drama.

"Please, please, please tell me this is a crank post. I'd hate to learn otherwise. I file two reviews a week, for Food and the Magazine, so I'm not sure which restaurant this is," he wrote.

Could this be fake? Absolutely. Sietsema himself planted a seed of doubt on Instagram, and noted that readers are combing through his recent reviews in attempt at finding the photo.

The woman ended her comment thanking Sietsema for the evidence. "This Thanksgiving I'm grateful to you for exposing a cheat!"

Uh, Happy Thanksgiving?
