Become a Food Critic From Home

What you will be doing. Do you love good food? You may love it so much that you want to write about it.

People always want to know about a new restaurant before they decide to invest the time and money trying it out.

Food critics do all of the legwork and food tasting so you don’t have to.

How to start. Food critics usually have a background in food. They may be former chefs, waiters, restaurant owners, or food columnists. In some way, they know about food. Some think that food critics judge a restaurant by the taste of their food. There is more to it than that.

A food critic judges the food based on: presentation, taste, texture, and quality. Each course is judged individually as well as overall. If you’re not a chef or a food connoisseur, take the time to learn something about food. Read cooking magazines and food critic columns in newspapers. To gain experience, write food articles for web content sites like Associated Content. Submit sidebar pieces to cooking magazines and newspapers.

Starting costs. You will have to eat out occasionally to write food reviews. If you’ve already sampled cuisine from local restaurants, give your opinion in an article. You’ll need a computer with high speed Internet access to write them and a telephone to contact magazines about using your pieces. Plan to spend around $1,000 or less to get started.

Skills needed. A discerning palette and an open mind are two of the tools of the trade for food critics.

Good writing skills are important to get your articles noticed by the right people. With a bit of networking and determination, you could wind up with a column about food.

Marketing. Food is popular. Start your own website. Include content that talks about all aspects of food.

Feature food critiques from your area of the country and any places you dare to visit.

Carry business cards with you wherever you go. You may be able to get a quote from the owner of the hip new restaurant in town. Send queries to magazines and newspapers telling them about your food articles. Give lectures at the local cooking school or community college cooking program about what critics will be looking for from chefs in the restaurant setting.

Food is big money. Cooking shows have made the art of cooking fun for the smallest child and the oldest adult. Parlay your love of food into a food critic business.
