MILLION DOLLAR CRITIC, BBC Brit, 8pm

Giles Coren is the bitingly funny and controversial restaurant critic of one of the UK’s bestselling newspapers, The Times. His good opinion can bring as much as a million dollars in profit to those restaurants graced with his words of approval. He cannot be bought. He cannot be invited. If your place is good, then you hope he shows up. And if it is bad, then you better hope he doesn’t. And now he’s coming to North America. Giles doesn’t care about reputations. He isn’t interested in fancy or flashy or famous. He is simply looking for a place that offers him a drink when he sits down, that serves him a dish filled with love, and doesn’t play the music so loudly that he can’t have a proper conversation with his dinner companion. He’ll take everything the restaurants throw at him and throw it right back.
