A disgusting, fat man is sipping champagne in a restaurant, grimacing a bit, he expected better, instead of Moët & Chandon he got something else. The viewer already hates Andy Hayler, even though nothing has happened yet.

The documentary Foodies - World Eaters shows how bloggers who write about food and restaurants live and are therefore willing to travel all over the world. Five people, everyone flies and trains for the sake of other people's incentives and money, sometimes just to try the particular restaurant.we can follow a part of the lives of Thai, English, and American bloggers. For bloggers whose job it is to eat expensive things in cool places.

The most exciting things are probably the food and the restaurants, but the Swedish crew clearly failed to show what makes these people so opinion-forming, what do the chefs think of them, and is it possible to make a living from this activity?

In addition, the translation is not the most successful, a specialist proofreader would not have hurt, sometimes there are glaring errors in the film, which the food-obsessed audience will probably spot in a moment. The film is nothing more than a poorly executed gastro tour of the star restaurants, with several repeated shots, as if there was not enough visual material.

And the story could have been exciting, it would be interesting to properly go around the question of how much lay critics influence restaurants, what chefs think of them, but apparently none of them really wanted to be confrontational and say that from the model a Latvian gastroblogger should perhaps not form an opinion on how to cook, when apparently half an apple is his daily staple.

Aiste Miseviciute, the Lithuanian supermodel who, when she has some time, pops into a star-studded restaurant or leaves cilliards with an exterminating famous sushi chef who disrupts a private dinner in half an hour. Of course, this can also be interesting, and he at least moralizes that if a person eats for free - that is, accepts invitations from restaurants - then he cannot form a real opinion about the place, but it doesn't bother others.

It is of course interesting that these people have nothing to do with gastronomy, at least professionally, yet they presumably shape people's tastes in this area with great weight, which is why they were chosen as the main characters of the film, but beyond their ability to ring up the price of the dinner, they are unable to maintain interest, simply because they are not exciting personalities - or this does not come across in the film.

I could go on for a long time, but the film should be watched by those who will not be envious if they never get to most of the restaurants shown, who are not really interested in what the relationship between bloggers and restaurants is like, but who like beautiful and expensive food, for the most part, stare at food made from raw materials they have never heard of and consider it the pinnacle of creativity when dinner is served on sea plants, or it's funny when they pay a lot of euros for a piece of jelly in the shape of a donut, with sperm made of condensed milk running around in it.
