I realize the title sounds pretty weird, but I'm looking for some inspiration here. Just recently (earlier today, in fact), I was hired to write restaurant reviews for a local newspaper on a periodic basis. I've already got some pretty good ideas, but there's always more to be done when it comes to being well-prepared!
I feel like I'll be able to write well enough, but this is the first time I've ever had a job that isn't rolling burritos, and I would like to do a good job. I'll be interviewing owners of each establishment, as well as commenting on the food. I know hubski has a population of professional writers, and people who are just good at writing, and I'd appreciate any general advice you could give me.
What sorts of things make you want to visit a restaurant? If you were me, what sort of questions would you ask?
