Pretending to be a food Critic

Ive done this a couple of times...you go to a nice restaurant by yourself and with a notebook and camera. I start out by asking the waiter for three of his best apps. I take a bit of each one and after each bite I jot down a few notes in my notebook. I also take photos of each.
I've also done this with cocktails--order 3 different ones but only take a sip or two of each and take notes and pics
By the time you order they get suspicious that you are a critic. The manager usually comes over after I place the order for 4 different entre's and makes sure everything is "a-ok". For desert, the Manager and Chef magically arrive at my table wiht some recommendations and they bring a large platter which I sample.
The bill arrives wiht the chef's personal business card and I get charged for like one entre.
Anyone else done this?

Food critics don't sit down by themselves and order 3 apps and 4 entrees.

I was hoping that this was an April fools joke that just got bumped. Guess not.

The point of a secret shopper is to act like a normal patron.
Secret food critic? The only secret food critics are the ones giving away reviews on yelp.

Hell no. I go to dinner with other humans and enjoy their company.
