When Food Critics Attack, But Kindness Wins

Ever had someone trash your favorite dish online? Yeah, it stings. Last night, someone left a brutal comment about our new ramen bowl—"tastes like sadness in a bowl." Ouch. I was ready to crawl under the prep table and never serve noodles again. But then, out of nowhere, a regular chimed in: "Actually, I crave this ramen every week. It’s comfort food done right." That one comment? Total game-changer. I remembered why I started cooking in the first place. Not to please everyone, but to make food that feels like a hug for someone out there. Food is personal. Not everyone will get it, and that’s okay. But when someone stands up for your cooking, it means everything. If you love a dish, say it loud. You never know who needs to hear it. #FoodCommunity #SupportLocal #FoodStories #KitchenLife #RamenLove #Food #Foodie
