Restaurant Review: "I'm Not Okay"

What to do if you had to write a bad restaurant review?

Say "I'm not okay!"

One will really not be okay, especially if it's about love, next one is about food. Writers who write restaurant and food reviews can attest to this.

Usually food writers promote healthful products and restaurants that serve heavenly food.
Most writers are fond of food. I had been a contributing writer for Cook and food magazines so my mouth is supposed to showcase the different taste buds.

"You have to say the truth. You always have to tell the truth so the food recipe and restaurant could improve it," food experts assent. "Tastes buds have different preferences, and your visit is also due of good service and cleanliness around."

Restaurant reviews have no exact form. It states restaurant features, name, location (map/how to get there), food price, meal discounts, estimated costs per person, and the various menu. Appetizers to desserts, beverages, and dishes are enumerated to please customers and inform the public.

Restaurant ambiance is also discussed. Is it fine dining? A buffet? Is it a fast food setting? Pictures and posters are distributed for the presentation of food.

An overview of the restaurant's food specialty is given a highlight with commendations from famous people, specific consumers, and cooking experts.

A commentary (positive or negative), an essay of appreciation, and a culinary climax in any form are given a press release.

Sometimes a simple recipe of the menu and its ingredients are given away. Health benefits derived from the food are analyzed by nutritionists.

During my first restaurant review of a Japanese Restaurant in Makati (Thank's to Cook Magazine); I was really ashamed because I didn't know how to use the chopsticks. All the press people were using the chopsticks, and I was the only one who asked for a spoon and fork. But it was cool because "I have learned to managed and asked for a fork." From then on, I practiced using the chopsticks.

I thank Cook Magazine for this. "The restaurant was exquisitely marvelous and sushi was fresh. Everyone loved the menu and it came one at a time served by waiters."

Truly, personal reactions of both the food and restaurant are solicited by consumers as it becomes part of popular culture.

Overtones of sad and happy experiences give authenticity of restaurant reviews. Detailed analysis of specific outstanding dishes - good and dismal are helpful for the different food groups that will patronize such food and restaurants.

"I'm not okay" is okay for food and restaurant reviews.
