Good-Bye Gourmet, Hello Yelp!: The Changing Role of the Restaurant Critic
Posted on 16. Feb, 2009 by Birdsong in RS Food Writers Conf
However much the media landscape has changed, people still want to know where to eat. This panel on restaurant reviewing will touch on the past, current, and future of restaurant reviewing. Emphasis will be placed on changes in the relationship between the reviewer and diners, the reviewer and media outlets, and the reviewer and the restaurant industry. The craft of reviewing restaurants will be explored in the context of other forms of cultural criticism.
