(Continued from Page 33) accepts your invitation, then bring him or her into your kitchen and go over the item from its raw state until the final product is com- plete. Let the critic view how the product is made and encourage your chef to con- verse freely with the critic. "Even if the critic de- clines your invitation, he or she feels good thinking you respect their opinion enough to ask them to sam- ple your item prior to intro- ducing it to the public. This is your first step in forming a working relationship with the critic. But remember, nothing will ever happen unless you take the initia- tive to make it happen. "Let's say that your restaurant was just re- viewed and the critic im- plies in his article that you use a poor or below- average grade of beef; or that your clam chowder has an unusual taste; or perhaps the review says that a particular sauce is tasteless.

"With a great deal of dip- lomacy, write a letter to the editor of the newspaper the critic works for and ask that it be printed in response to the review. "If the critic has implied that you use a below- average grade of meat, submit a copy of your meat purveyor's invoice showing that in fact you do purchase a choice or prime grade product. State in your letter that you are purchasing the choice or prime grade. "If the reviewer remarks that your clam chowder has a 'strange' taste to it, then list in your letter all of the ingredients and let the pub- lic judge for themselves if the chowder sounds good. "Newspapers are ob- liged to print letters to editors that clarify or re- spond to subjects their people report on. Take advantage of this free publicity and at the same time tell your customers what is really going on in your restaurant. "All that I have written up to now deals with one in- dividual, the restaurant cri- tic. But what about the hundreds of critics that visit your restaurant every week — the customers? How sure are you that every customer who leaves your restaurant is planning to return? "The only safeguard against the restaurant cri- tic and the critical customer is to stay close to all phases of your operation and never rest on your laurels. Nega- tive remarks spread by word of mouth from dis- satisfied customers will cripple you, and the restau- rant critic just might come along shortly to drive the last nail into your coffin."
