Being a judge myself (I won’t say which categories), it has been an enlightening and enriching experience.
Interestingly, I wasn’t even recognised once – you could tell from service. I can share that restaurants which fare well, are those which are consistent in all segments, from taste, service, and presentation.
There was this particular restaurant in which the service staff, though junior, was able to answer questions adequately and provided good recommendations based on my preference. The level of training reflects in the other aspects as well.
