The Blindspots of Mostly White, Mostly Male Restaurant Critics | Eater
"A five-hour, wine-soaked haute‑cuisine marathon in Paris that included oysters, caviar, lobster, truffles, foie gras with aspic and a sweetbread parfait; the meal was billed at $4,000 in 1975 (roughly $18,000 today) after being won in a charity auction, though the reviewer paid far less. The critic judged the parade of classic luxury dishes technically impressive but not worth the extravagant price, prompting a flood of public criticism for the perceived excess." - Korsha Wilson
