More restaurant critic lines I wish I'd said

Charles Grene has sent me the rest of the restaurant critic comments from the Readers Digest. (See previous post.) Here we go:
"I didn't come into the job to make friends, and I've certainly succeeded at that."
"The lobsters are as glazed and tough as most of the customers."
"It's not just rich, it's plutocratic.  In South America, it would be kidnapped and held for ransom."
"For me, fancy food in a traditional pub is as about as inviting as the phrase 'Free prostate exam with every drink.'"
"I looked for wait staff, but the room was so big, they were probably obscured by the curvature of the earth."

About this blog
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.

He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.
