I don't get the idea of a "food critic"...

I don't get the idea of a "food critic". Are they really educated and experienced enough in food to have an opinion that matters? Shouldn't chefs be reviewing other chefs?

But then it would be a giant circle jerk. Oh wait...

I don't know but I fucking love that movie

>I don't get the idea of a "film critic". Are they really educated and experienced enough in film to have an opinion that matters? Shouldn't directors be reviewing other directors?

actual food critics usually have some sort of background in the culinary world, or have studied or tasted enough food so that their palate is considered to be more than above average

your average 'yelper' is not a food critic

Retard.

All they need to know is how the food is supposed to taste, not how to make the food taste that way.

This literally applies to everything. Painting, movies, music, porn.

Critics are for braindead sheep.

Ya know, critics of any kind are just people who can talk about their opinions while sounding smart.

and being paid

I don't get the idea of a democracy. Are people really educated and experienced enough in politics to have an opinion that matters? Shouldn't presidents be elected by other presidents?
