Everyone's a Critic

from Flavorphiles · host Tanner Agar

Amuse Booze: Negroni Tanner and Jerry dig into the world of reviews and why restaurants seem to get more feedback—solicited or not—than any other profession. They explore how chefs handle criticism, including the story of one who famously banned a critic from his restaurant. Then they sit down with D Magazine’s food critic to learn how the job really works: what to taste for, how to write with clarity and fairness, and the backlash that sometimes follows. After that, Tanner and Jerry turn the spotlight on themselves as they read and respond to reviews of Flavorphiles. And finally, Tanner flips the script by offering his own “critiques” of memorable guests who’ve come through his doors over the years.Thank you for listening!
