Who Criticizes the Critics?

It is strange that I never became a restaurant critic since the job does combine two of my favourite pass times: eating and criticizing. Over years of meals cherished or loathed, I too, like most of us, became a self-appointed expert. Likes and dislikes are formed; opinions of good food and drink are honed. So I guess it was just poetic justice that I became a chef then Food and Beverage professional and ended up at the other end of the “poison pan” so to speak.

But truth be known I guess I ended up a chef because all the other activities that I pursued were either too scatological (ya gotta look this one up!) or too self-indulgent (tried to be a rock guitarist once)and Food and Beverage is basically the only thing that I have even half succeeded at.

So, everyone’s a critic then…
