Was he a food critic, and the soup was excellent ?

Hint: there is a complex backstory involved.

Is the answer to the riddle a play on words (pun) ?

not a pun,but you could say that alcatraz island and the setting of the backstory are related in some way.

Are you sure it's an albatross?

Since the species is listed as threatened, if not endangered, I doubt that you would find it on the menu in a diner.
