Are Restaurant Critics' Jobs Impacting Their Health?

Getting to eat out at some of the greatest restaurants in the world sounds like a dream job. However, could it be too much of a good thing? Food critic Frank Cohen has been writing about food for 28 years. Doctors told him his job was killing him so he cut back on the number of restaurants he reviews a month. Food critic Craig LaBan has eaten thousands of meals out. LaBan says he walks his dog five miles a day and rides his bike to his office, all so he can keep on eating.

Well, you don’t have to eat the whole plate.

[@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404]

@@patrickfuna-ur7nmbetter idea, let customers decide.. oh wait, that already exists, called Google reviews 😂 I mean sure theres some trolls n Karen’s on there but just focus on the 5 to 3 stars, or sort through the 1 stars and avoid trigger words that most Karen’s n trolls use. 😂

[@GamingBelladonna229]

Don’t force yourself to eat too much, you’ll get very sick. Simple as that. If you can’t finish it, just take it home for later.

[@FranciscaMendieta-u6w]

Fr tho

[@Booila]

That’s what we do.

[@rioarslanian]

"consuming millions of calories" I mean its been 28 years that seems normal

[@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404]

No when he eats so much 😅😅

[@blakedesmond]

Ohh boo hoo. Just don’t eat the whole thing. C’mon, you have the best job. No sympathy here.

[@InStevenWeTrust]

I can't believe there is a segment on this .... Just eat a SMALL PORTION. it's not rocket science wtf.

[@papasmamas1]

Poor guys, such a bad job 😢😢😢

[@newyyykkll]

Exactly, I mean we all eat and poop every day.

[@AP-tp5ve]

Kind of a dumb question to ask tbh

[@Lilicoder]

It's like asking a construction worker who doesn't get massages or takes Epsom salt baths if what they do at work if destroying your body.

[@anonymousfan1008]

Maybe instead interview customers and ask them how the food was? Or just take it to go and finish later? Or order smaller portions?

[@RomanBraixen]

You’d think this was the onion

[@emmakai2243]

Apparently this reviewer hasn't discovered that you can ask to take leftover's home.

[@VonBlitzkrieg]

News just in, eating too much food bad.

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

"It's a constant challenge." Ohh, boo frick'n hoo 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻Truly a poorly thought out fluff story when so many people can't afford the basics.

[@SanFernandoValleyRose]

So very true!

[@Tritiuminducedfusion]

These "reviewers" need to get a real job.

[@cocokholl7005]

😂😂

[@just_janen_1196]

I don't understand why they must eat the whole plate, though, its not necessary

[@MathieuCastro]

Frank looks like if he even walked into a gym he would wonder which way leads to a cafeteria. Literally did all of that to himself.

[@sample.text.]

Just sample the food. It's not rocket science.

[@lauriefaithprescott]

I have panic attacks at restaurants and I can't eat there anymore.

[@drewcool8441]

Food

[@TotallyNotAddy13]

Huh

[@JprimeWorld]

How is this even a job at this point with everybody reviewing

[@kruszer]

I know a single mom who works two full time jobs and still can't afford to buy sufficient fresh veggies for her kids. Her job is impacting her health too, on account of lack of sustainable wages and getting almost no sleep just to be able to put a roof over her head in an overpriced housing market that favours people with money to eat in the restaurants this guy reviews.... But, sure. Let's make a news story out of a guy who gets too much to eat. I'll go get my tissues!

[@NYCrazyRob]

PROTIP: Review fast food restaurants. The portions will be smaller. :D

[@yenxion6516]

Ok let be honest when was the last time you read an article a food critic wrote. 😂

[@journeymansmitty8283]

Well thinking about the calories in the cholesterol about the whole situation probably😮

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

If you don't stay active,....

[@LukaGG-lp2hx]

no matter how much food u review u can still find time to get some exercise

[@mlong9475]

If not for the Internet these so called food critics would'nt be food critics.

[@kindredmalise6633]

Hate crime. Cause free advertisement. Dude needs to only take a bite. Not eat the whole thing.

[@LeilanaV]

What a job !!! Eat restraunt food for work? Only in America!!!

[@ediddysmith2500]

It is NOT a real job ,they just live off other people's work, they need to get a real job

[@patrickfuna-ur7nm]

Thoughts and prayers....

[@HomeSkooledJungleFreak]

This is a crazy complaint 😂

[@R0DSTER]

unless they're eating out almost every single day forever in order to make these reviews, then it's manageable...i'd bet anything that their bad eating habits extend to the times that they're not reviewing a restaurant as well

[@byronchavarria4954]

Possibly Diabetes Hypertension And High Cholestrol And Vital Organ Disease Or Failure.

[@HauteHorizon]

Hmm, you definitely have to be mindful of your diet if you do this for a living. Assuming that you eat 3 meals a day, it takes 10 days to review a restaurant that has 30 items on the menu, which adds up to reviewing 3 restaurants a month.

[@danielesquivel1164]

How do I apply food heavean

[@lauryn-ashleyvandyke6022]

Finally some good journalism

[@LouSassole-sq8hu]

I’m sure he eats proportionality and exercises on the regular. Not sure what the problem is.

[@Chinemeremdozie]

I was planning on becoming one but now i have second choices

[@Chim__Richalds]

You don't have to finish every portion?

[@eyeknow8009]

if you don't work out then don't complain

[@Nick-cw1og]

So pretty much what 9 out of 10 Americans also do.

[@e-4051]

So they’re eating more calories than they’re working off…? I would think the answer is fairly obvious lmao

[@Lilicoder]

0:39 my boy

[@THC420xan]

28yrs evolved you into a giant ditto

[@AnythingJW]

this is my dream job.. just go work out more

[@rosiebrooks7685]

Dumb. You have these high capacity eaters put away 22,000 cals in one sitting and they're fine. Exercise, moderation and most food critics take only a few bites and move on.
