Grades:

A – outstanding. A piece of food so terrific that I continue to talk about days after the event. A meal of this nature can easily (and is readily) recalled and mentally savored days, weeks, & even years after the event.

B – very good. A piece of food that was very good that I would comment on following the meal.

C – Average. Be mindful, an average dish at the restaurants I am critiquing will generally be better than the food available any most other places.

D – Below average. I will discuss the dish in a negative light during the meal. Some, but infrequent mention of my displeasure of the dish following the meal.

F – Bad. I will continue to discuss my displeasure well after the meal, perhaps even ruining my night. I will often talk to the manager about such a dish. Dishes that receive an F can rightly be considered FWS.
