I think of restaurant critiques and reviews as forms of entertainment. In addition to being occasionally useful (while also highly subjective) reviews and reviewers are or should be attempting to grab an audience, communicate some message in an engaging and entertaining way, and be persuasive about their argument. Wells' review hits every one of these marks in addition to providing some genuinely insightful questions about Fieri's motivations, ethos, and clientele. Therefore I believe it is a successful review whether it persuades people or not. I don't really think Wells' intention was to drive the restaurant out of business or to hurt Fieri's feelings, just to write a good review. One could say that both the chef and reviewer were going for easy targets, pandering to their respective markets. And without even sampling Fieri's food I think Wells was more successful.
