  • 3.What is a Food Critic A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food.Like theater and movie critics,food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful,well-informed,and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money. (1)
    However some may also engage in more general food writing.
       Becoming a food critic takes time.Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food,attending culinary schools,working in restaurants,participating in farming,and so forth. (2)
    A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food,from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes.Food critics also have very well-developed palates,and they may specialize in a particular area.

(4)
    Implications of favoritism or bribery can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
       This is what food critics are like.They describe and evaluate the food,providing opinions on its quality. (5)
