Ruth Reichl Critic Quotations

You can be a decent critic if you know about food, but to be a really good one, you need to know about life.

The critic has to do more of what the book critics and art critics have done in the past. Which is give you a context for understanding the restaurant, give you a better way to appreciate it, give you the tools to go in there and be a more informed diner who can get more pleasure out of the experience.
