"This is fantastic work" is vague. Your piece deserves more. Stay tuned for more reflections from one who started out trying to write restaurant reviews (because the "mainstream press" versions around here are so lamentable) and realised early on that they are really not worth writing if one has as a priority to talk about the grub of the restaurant under consideration. It soon dawned on me that a worthwhile restaurant reviews talk about many things other than food. In fact, the less that food is mentioned...the better is the review.

I think so too, Jonathan. I don't know what the point of looking at art, or tasting it, could be if not followed by an idea or conversation.
This is fantastic work.
