Are You An Angry Chef?

Imagine you're a chef. A well-known, local restaurant invites you to prepare and cook tonight's dinner service.

The tables are set, the meals served as you wait for guests to arrive.

These guests haven't been invited, but they come.

Many guests enjoy their meals, thanking you as they leave.

But other guests find their meals disgusting. 

They leap onto their tables and begin shouting at you.

Some complain about the pasta yet no dishes contained pasta.

Some complain the wine pairing was wrong yet you served only tea.

The angry guests remain on their tables -- shouting -- long through the night.

They have nowhere else to go.

The angry guests aren't chefs. They don't even cook. Or write about cooking.

They are food bloggers with no blog; they have no other platform other than their table tops.

But you, Chef, prepared and created meals and served guests -- not with the intention of pleasing everyone (you are realistic) and not for praise from those satisfied with your creation (your work is good; how you feel about it doesn't depend on the platitudes of strangers). 

Blogless, angry foodies will always shout their disapproval.

But you keep putting out delicious dishes, Chef.
