Restaurant reviewers
Quite a few years back, I read a restaurant review about the place
that I worked at. First off, the reviewer made a negComment concerning the goulash. He said there was a thin layer of fat on the surface. So what? Then he went on to bless our home made apple pie which wasn't home made at all. It was purchased frozen, and baked in our oven. Sheesh. I read treat all restaurant reviews with a grain of salt. I'm pretty sure that they are mostly accurate, but I'm also sure that they make mistakes. Recently, a reviewer here, praised the schnitzel at an area restaurant. He liked the schnitzel, because it was thin and crispy. I don't like the sound of the word 'crispy' when reviewing Wiener Schnitzel. I've never had a crispy schnitzel. In Vienna, the Schnitzel (veal, most excellent) I had was not crispy. It wasn't soggy mind you, but it wasn't crispy. I don't like the word 'thin' either. It's a relative term, but looking at both words, and I think the reviewer does not know what a classical Wiener Schnitzel is. There is a restaurant here that specializes in Schnitzel. They deep fry them, and I've heard them referred to as being crispy. I think our reviewer has become trained in analyzing WS made in an entirely different manner that was intended. |
