After writing an exhaustive summary of the Association of Food Journalist Food Critic's Guidelines, I decided to publish my very own guideline - The Food Trotting Critic's Guidelines!
You may also want to create your own guidelines for your dining experiences so that you can truly capture the moment. With all the foods in the world, following them and writing about it will help shed some light into all the foods you eat. With the amount of food I eat, it's hard to remember the tastes of each bite. What better way then to document this using a standard guideline for consistency!
As an official Food Trotting critic, here are my general guidelines:
- Use general ethical norms when writing reviews
- Remain anonymous for an accurate customer experience
- Several visits are preferred but not required (I'm not rich)
- Order famous and popular dishes
- Sample appetizers and main courses only (I'm not a desert lover)
- Focus on a variety of ethnic foods, price ranges, and locations
- Take pictures using food photography methods (I'll have to research this)
- Follow the Food Trotting star ratings system:
4 stars: World-class experience that is truly extraordinary
3 stars: Superior experience that offers memorable dishes and/or accompanied by good atmosphere and/or service
2 stars: A sold place with generally appealing cooking and/or a famous dish worth a try
1 star: A fair place not worth rushing back to but may have something interesting
0 stars: Poor and Below-average restaurants
