Food
Critic / Food Writer Career Profile - Role & Responsibilities
Just like most
other offbeat and uncommon career choices, the job profile of a
food writer and food critic is quite interesting and challenging
at the same time. Those of you who have a flair for writing and
a taste for good food / restaurants can consider becoming a professional
food critic (food writer / restaurant critic / food columnists).
The role of a food
writer or restaurant reviewer is one of great responsibility. This
is because most people prefer to read restaurant reviews (especially
of new eating joints) before deciding whether or not they want to
go to that restaurant. Hence, a food critic must be true to his
/ her job.
