Gourmet (gourmet) review: In a way, the critic's job is simple.
We don’t have to take the risk of commenting on other people’s work and reputations with a sense of superiority.
We earn our reputations from the kind of negative criticism that makes things easy to write and fun to read.

I will return to the Hotel Gust, with more expectations and a hungry stomach.
