The one thing I dislike about a lot of online reviews for food, film, video games, what have you: words like "the experience was awesome," "you'll love being here," "top notch service" "food was to die for." Such writing says nothing. What's awesome for one may be not awesome for another; it's also why I loathe any commercial or ad I see that includes the words "for people just like you." Seriously? Don't you know I'm a special snowflake? I prefer reviews instead that go past generic platitudes, and actually DESCRIBE. Show the details, not the labels. Only other relevant thing I can think of: the only food reviewer I remember the name of, and remember fondly, is Paul Reidinger. I loved his reviews.
