Yelp Review vs. Food Critic Taste Test
Comparing Food Critic vs. Public Recommendations in Los Angeles
Discover which local food recommendations—those curated by professional critics or those championed by everyday Yelpers and Redditors—truly deliver the best culinary experience in Los Angeles.
Short Summary
- Professional food critics selected different winners than the general public across four distinct food categories: Korean Fried Chicken, Chili Dogs, Mac and Cheese, and Red Velvet Cake.
- The critics' favored options often represented high-scoring, critically acclaimed spots, sometimes differing significantly in price point from the public favorites.
- The segment introduced an anonymous expert critic who judged the hosts' growing palates and participated in the final two rounds.
- This comparison forces the hosts to evaluate basic culinary classics against unique offerings favored by expert curation.
This episode directly pits highly-rated critic recommendations against popular consensus from local users on platforms like Yelp and Reddit. The structure allows the hosts to test if their exposure to LA's dining scene has elevated their palates beyond simple crowd-pleasers, providing direct comparisons across four specific dishes.

“I posted to mildly interesting and nobody liked it” That’s everyone’s experience there
By the end Link looked like he's gonna paint something only he can understand. Rhett on the other hand looks like he will sell you coffee with the wrong name on the cup.
Link: Hear me out Rhett: I will, but I'm not listening If that doesn't sum up their personalities regarding food, I don't know what will
Leonard really is a multifaceted character he does so well as the critic from ratatouille
"Hear me out" "I will but im not listening " may be one of my favorite quotes
Leonard was a wonderful addition to the crew
the laugh i let out when leonard, the most unserious man, came out as the critic 😭😭😭😭
Link's shirt is completely coordinated with the critic's accessories haha
I was hoping Leonard was going to continue adding critic hats to them each time they guessed the critic answer
Lol at how "Pierre" only had a vaguely French accent while he was saying his name. Then straight back to good ol' Leonard.
