There is another great article on here on how to become a food critic. It's not like Food Critic 101 is going to solve all their problems and answer all of their questions. I think that that goes for any job, really, though and a lot of people seem to not be able to decide on what they are really passionate about. September 30, - I definitely agree with you on your thoughts about becoming a food critic. If you divulge that you are a critic that gives them an unfair advantage of sorts. The whole point is to catch a food establishment off guard and in their natural, everyday serving environment. Food critic reviews are well thought out and planned - even though they may not divulge who they are. I think that a lot of information and knowledge is gained from experience acquired on the job. The thought that you say "Food Critic 101 won't solve all their problems and answer all of their questions," is very valid.

I find that interesting, because unlike in the movie Ratatouille, where Anton Ego gave Linguini a fighting chance to impress him, I'm assuming food critics don't do that. However, what's the true reason people become food critics if they're not in it for the grub?įebruary 14, - I like how you make note that the whole point of being a critic is to catch restaurants off guard. It's a funny story, because it shows how people love to eat.

After all, who doesn't love to eat, and even more so, who doesn't love dining out? In fact, I once heard of this story where a man was passing himself off as a health inspector in order to obtain free meals. Obviously, this isn't always the case, but it can be sometimes. I don't want to sound cynical, but I wonder if some people simply become food critics just for the food. After all, there is such a thing as constructive criticism, which always helps in the long run. I don't know if food critics have the power to make or break an establishment, but by writing a review, they can even tell the restaurant owner what needs to be worked on.
