About the Job
50s, famous critic in white linen—the “night we’ve been praying for.” His presence raises the stakes for the whole restaurant. Elegant, observant, not loud; the nod he gives at the end is basically a verdict on their lives. Specs: 45–65, Italian/Italian-American or similar European culinary-world vibe, quiet shark—the kind of guy whose single Yelp-style line can bury or save you; day player (one big night sequence).
