I would like to read The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise, because this book gave me a positive reception of food and a new way of approaching restaurants critically. Usually, when I like to eat out; I look for some concerns. Such as, the quality of food must be healthy. The service must be good, and the people working there really care for me. As a reason, I am not just paying for the food when I go out; I am paying to be treated as a guest in a proper place.
