What I Do – Restaurant Critic

February 20, 2012 By: John Curtas Category: Critics

The whole “What I Do” meme:

…is getting pretty played out by now, but we at ELV thought using the format — to give a brief description of what restaurant critics really do — was in order. So here goes:

What my friends think I do:

    The photo of President Obama is inappropriate. Your intent is unclear and its effect may be unintentionally negative.

    ELV responds: The picture is only inappropriate if you don’t understand what it was and what it represents: an intellectual pipsqueak trying to lecture the President of the United States.

    Of all those pictures, someone thinks the one of Obama is inappropriate?!?!?

    Geez. I had to have someone else type this for me because that last photo fried my eyesight.

    Yes, I did understand what was going on. I mentioned that it might be UNINTENTIONALLY negatively interpreted. It happens all the time in NV. I heard a bunch of guys talking (on the patio of a bagel shop I was at) about the President and had to respond. They started off with the birther beliefs and moved on to the Keystone affair. By the time they got to, “if he gets a second term, I guarantee you somebody’s going to put a bullet in him.” At that point, I had to respond. This is just one of several such incidents I or my friends have encountered. They are quite common, but I cannot stay mute about it.

    Gee, and I thought all Jan Brewer was trying to do was tell the President how good the smoked chili burritos are in Arizona.

    I think we are all missing the point… A woman is telling a man what to do! That’ll be the day.
