No, snooty food experts are equivelent to the people who pull fish at the table asside and try to hook them up with lessons so they can broaden their horizons as see the game holistically but developing a range of hands that their opponent may be playing - rather than only looking at their own cards like a one-eyed cyclops.
I love snooty food experts, they arent at all snooty.... but they are great teachers. If your the type to ignore your teachers growing up, or the type that needs to learn life's lessons on your own rather than learn from someone else's experience then the food expert is more likely to be snooty in your eyes, in my eyes they are artisans who understand the product far more than I do, I want to learn from their education experience. The best dining experiences I have ever had were restauraunts that the hoi-polloi say are run by snooty food experts, thank you snooty food experts!
