Vibe Hotel's Storehouse Sydney Central Cafe And Bar Hosts 'Copy The Critic'
Learn how to be a professional food critic with restaurant reviewer Grant Jones
SYDNEY: In a world where reviewing your food has become almost as important as eating it, the Storehouse Sydney Central Café and Bar at Vibe Hotel Sydney is hosting an exclusive workshop for budding food critics. The hotel has partnered with professional restaurant reviewer and media commentator Grant Jones for this one-night-only workshop on Thursday 25 July.
Over a delicious multi-course dinner, the Storehouse Sydney Central Café and Bar will offer guests and locals the opportunity to hone their foodie credentials and learn the tools and techniques involved with food reviewing. The program will include advice on learning how to taste, how to capture the best food shot for social and how to expertly critique a restaurant’s food, decor and service.
The explosion of multi-media formats means that anyone can be a food critic these days – but what does it take to learn to be a professional food critic? No matter what level they are at, attendees will be able to ‘Copy the Critic’ when Grant Jones offers his expertise, garnered from more than 30 years in the industry.
Grant Jones says: “To make your dishes stand out, it’s important to consider the lighting and positioning of your dish as a picture can say a thousand words and first impressions count. With reviewing, it’s not just about the food.
“The venue must encompass everything from the greeting on entry to pouring water, an explanation of the menu, delivery of dishes, comfort level, décor, all the way to the bill at the end.”
“A restaurant experience is like any good story. You need to be grabbed from the get-go. From the ease of the phone call to make a booking, or via digital confirmation, if they can’t get that right, then it’s going to sour the whole experience.”
