Just like there is no I in Team, there should be no SNOB in FOOD. What I mean by all this is that there are a lot of food critics out there, but not enough food lovers in this crazy foodie world. One major food critic that comes to mind, needs to take a not so serious look at food.
To sit there and constantly dissect food is kind of like systematically taking away it's soul. I admit, there is bad food out there, but the criticism should never be taken to the level of "I'm too good to" go to a Bar b Que Joint or " I'm soooo superior because . . . " I can smell the rainbow in that 90 year old bottle of French Alps wine .
In this case it is better to consume the food, than be consumed by food. I have one piece of advice for the over analyzing food critics, just get over yourself!
Great post, I couldn't agree more! I was friends with a girl who was not only a food and wine critic but an eatery critic as well. I just can't do that. How can you possibly enjoy your meal if all you do is complain about it! Looking forward to more. Bam
