I have absolutely no business reviewing restaurants. Consider the facts: I like Ramen noodles. I burn my meat. And I'm pretty sure the Klondike Bar is the pinnacle of modern cuisine.
I've also heard good things about Applebee's.
But when it comes to restaurant feedback, someone like me can just go online and write literally anything. And people might actually read it.
"Let's avoid that new Italian place, Diane. It says here the meatballs are made from baby seals."
Nevertheless, amateur reviews on sites like Yelp do play an important role in the restaurant industry, and there are plenty of well-intentioned people who actually provide decent feedback.
"The meatballs are amazing! Definitely not made from baby seals."
Still, just being a prolific amateur reviewer doesn't qualify someone for special treatment when he or she goes out to eat.
Or does it?
