TableCritic Inc. Reviewers

Justin Cambria

Justin developed his interest in food by writing through the web from using Yelp when he lived in New York, and it has been an enjoyable hobby ever since. He has reviewed over 300 places on the Yelp site as a means of tracking his eating travels and sharing those experiences with friends and whoever else may want to read them. He has always had an interest in writing as an English major in college, and a newspaper editor in high school, and his interest in eating well and understanding where food comes from and how the restaurant industry works provided a nice way to tie these things together. He is also an avid squash playerer and golfer, depending on the season.
