I agree with you! Someone who is labelled a ‘critic’ does not at all necessarily have more ‘food knowledge’ that someone who is labelled a ‘blogger’. The point that I made to CWB, and the point I think that SHE is making, is that many ‘food bloggers’ come from non-food related backgrounds (i.e. for me, it is Architecture) and I definitely have more ‘Architectural knowledge’, at this stage, than I do ‘food knowledge’. (That’s DEF not to say all food bloggers do!!)….The point being, that I, as a food blogger, approach my reviews, my posts, my recipes, etc with a “different” slant than a food critic, who may ONLY have been exposed to a ‘food education’ may do….I am sure there are many food bloggers out there who have a WEALTH of experience and education that would put many a critic to shame!

Yeah, I saw the article. I am surprised though by this statement of theirs ”a blogger won’t always have the same knowledge as a critic””. Critic or blogger is just a role that the person is wearing. Knowldge has nothing to do with this. I have been cooking for more than 3 decades at all imaginary levels, have a very humble blog and yet have with no doubt more familiarity with food, ingredients, cooking techniques, palate than a bunch of food critics. Sure, they have the contacts I do not have since they are from the media industry, but certainly not the knowledge that some food bloggers may have
