Everyone's a critic, especially with the internet facilitating any and all expression of opinion. But turns out just because you have a blog, doesn't make you a food critic.

Last Wednesday Campagne, a restaurant in Kilkenny Ireland, posted a message they had received from a blogger on their Twitter page.

Aaaand cue the Twitterstorm...

Fortunately for the blogger in question Campagne didn't divulge their identity.

Good thing too, otherwise the digital equivalent of torches and pitchforks may well have been on the table.

So strangely enough the blogger did manage to get the restaurant a lot of exposure online, just not any free food.
