	Description:		Emily Thomas brings together a straight-talking crowd who are not afraid to ruffle a few feathers - even when they belong to the world’s most successful restaurateurs and chefs. Three restaurant critics from across the world don't hold back as they swap notes on the job, divulge the tricks of the trade, and confess whether they are ever left with a bad taste in their mouth after writing a scathing review. We hear how different the role of the restaurant critic is depending on where you are in the world - and how it might change in the future. Plus, how do our reviewers like being critiqued themselves? They are under the spotlight like never before, as an increasingly online world allows any of us to leave a review - and provides anyone with a platform to critique the critics. Plus, do they ever get sick and tired of eating out, and does anyone invite them over for dinner anymore?
