Have you ever noticed how everyone's a food critic on social media but nobody's actually cooking anything new?

lol yeah and yet we all still manage to take a 3 hour photo shoot of a plain avocado toast

yeah and it's even worse when they're complaining about the state of the food industry but still supporting the same

true and where are all the recipes and home chefs then? are people just here to complain or are they actually going to put in the work?

ugh yea so true. everyone's a critic these days but no one's actually putting in the work to make something original.

i post recipes all the time and so do a ton of other people, stop generalizing

I don't think that's a fair statement. There are people who genuinely share their cooking experiments and creations online.

so true! it's like everyone has an opinion but no one's putting in the work. maybe we should all try something new in the kitchen instead of just judging others.

what the fuck? just because we're not all professional chefs doesn't mean we can't critique the shitty food people post.

yeah, and who made them the judge of what's "new" anyway? maybe they should get off their arse and try something

deadass, we all foodies on here but can't even boil water. these takes be scorching hot but the kitchen cold af.

r u calling out the brunch crowd or just hating on bloggers in general?

Not everyone has the time or platform to actually share their recipes, so they share pics of what they've been eating. Not everyone needs to be a food blogger to have an opinion.

ugh really good point. who needs to cook when you can just reword someone else's recipe and take a

maybe they're too busy posting about it to actually do it

Yeah, that's a pretty ignorant take. Just because someone has an opinion doesn't mean they have to be a professional chef. Social media is for sharing thoughts, not just cooking.

wonder how many of these self-proclaimed foodies can even chop an onion properly

Are you guilty of this too or just pointing fingers?

only difference between a social media foodie and a real chef is the latter has actually ruined a kitchen at some point.

yeah, it's like everyone's an expert critic but they can't even boil water. maybe they should put down their phones and get in the kitchen for a change. talk is cheap, action speaks louder than words!

Funny, isn't it? When was the last time these "experts" actually stepped foot in a kitchen and tried to create something new? All talk, no action.

When was the last time you actually cooked something from scratch instead of just complaining about other people's food?

idk why that's even a thing. people love sharein their cookin just as much as anyone else, it's

Are you kidding me? Some of us are actually putting in the work and experimenting with new recipes, we just don't feel the need to post every single meal online.

nah, that's a lazy take. just because people share opinions online doesn't mean they're not actually putting in the work. some of us are out here experimenting and creating new stuff all the time. just because you're not seeing it, doesn't mean it's not happening.

and yet they'll still manage to fuck up a grilled cheese

yeah, it's like they're experts in taking pics of avocado toast

totally agree. meanwhile i'm stuck scrolling through pages of the same garam masala chicken recipe variations. when are we gonna see some originality in the kitchen?

lowkey thinking the same, but at least people are cooking and experimenting at home now instead of

That's because the internet was invented for complaining, not creating. ;)

no, i've noticed that's a p reductive take on people sharing their cooking experiences online.

totaly agree, it's like people are just re-reacting to the same old recipes on tiktok. meanwhile i'm still trying to figure out how to make a decent meal for one person

yeah for real, everyone's an expert but nobody's doing anything different. we need more people actually getting creative in the kitchen instead of just typing away on their phones.

does that include your mom's 12th picture of the same old spaghetti?

how else are we supposed to judge the food if we don't try it first? ¯\(ツ)/¯

yeah that's cos we're all too busy tryna "improve" defi liquidity instead of actually cooking up a decent burger

i mean same w/ gaming, everyone's a pro on twitter but can't even carry in a casual match

lmao right? everyone's a gordon ramsay but can't even boil an egg 😂 maybe they should get in the

are you even following actual food bloggers or just mad at the ig thrives in your mutuals' stories?

true! we're all talk and no action. it's easy to judge but way harder to actually create something original. maybe we should all log off and go make something delicious for a change.

Tbh, I completely agree. It's weird how foodies claim to be innovating the game with the same old recipes just photographed from a

then what do you suggest, gordon ramsay? start a cooking channel?

what a load of donkey dust that is, some of the most amazing food photos i've seen on here are from

tell me you've never been on instagram and seen an entire discover page full of people actually

are u kidding me, dude? people share recipes all the time, some of us are even nice enough to tag

Ever think that's because it's easier to take a picture of someone else's meal than it is to actually create something yourself?

actually, yeah, lots of people are cooking up new ideas every day - just not on your feed

idk guys is the recipe for being critical just boiling a bad attitude in a mixture of disappointing

are you kidding me? i've been cooking new stuff every week and posting about it.

nah that's bullshit. just because we dont post every meal we cook doesnt mean were not cooking new

lol yeah too true. i'll stick to scarfing down insta-worthy plates, not trying to actually create them. ain't nobody got time for that!

yeah, what's the point of constantly criticizing if you're not putting in the work yourself? talk is cheap, where's the innovation?

Same thing with tech - everyone's a critic of the latest startup or framework. But i haven't seen a novel solution to a real problem in ages. at my startup we focus on the quiet, unglamorous stuff that actually gets used.

Not everyone has a culinary degree, but that doesn't mean people can't have informed opinions about the food they eat.

what are you actually bringing to the table then? all criticism, no action?

girl, preach!! and it's even worse when they're trashing dishes they can barely even make themselves at home lol

so you're saying only chefs or food bloggers should get to critique food? regular people eating at home have opinions too

Are we seeing the same thing with finance experts on here too?

so true! i'm over here trying to figure out how to make instant ramen taste good and these clowns are writing

no one cares about your burgers, just get back in the kitchen and write a paper on the nuances of sous vide technique

Haha so true, meanwhile I'm over here experimenting with new recipes and techniques but too humble to share, maybe I should though.

are you kidding me? have you seen all the independent recipe devs and home cooks sharing their

yeah, it's wild how people can spend hours arguing over someones restaurant review but can't even

Guess that's why my aunt's 5-year-old meatloaf recipe from 1982 still gets 100 likes

idk man, i follow a ton of home cooks and indie devs on here and they're always sharing new recipes and projects they're working on.

lowkey felt attacked

same, i mean i'm guilty of it too but it's like, yeah everyone's a chef on instagram until you ask them to make a real meal for a room full

ya, but when are these "critics" gonna put their money where their mouth is and actually build something worthwhile? easy to complain, but let's see some real innovation for a change.

Are you on the sidelines critiquing or in the kitchen creating?

no mate, people who are cooking new things are just too humble to post about it.

not everyone, actually a lot of people i follow share their own recipes and cooking experiments and

are you kidding me? there are plenty of talented home cooks and food bloggers out there sharing

same, i mean who's the idiot thats still posting pics of their sad college era brioche recipe

yep, exact same vibes here. part of it's because people just like to have an opinion and get engaged online, but

no, thats not true. tons of chefs and cooks share their actual food creations online, they just dont get as much engagement as basic "food

dude are you kidding me i'm in a discord server with 20 people who are all better chefs than the

yeah, how about we start with actually making something ourselves before we start critiquing

just because you're not watching cooking shows on TV doesn't mean nobody's experimenting in the kitchen

are you saying people can't appreciate a good dish just because they didn't make it themselves?

please, i'd love to see you turn down free meals at restaurants just because you're "compromising your art" by getting

do you just mean the recipes i've been posting for years or?

Actually, there are tons of people creating new recipes and sharing their cooking experiences online, you just have to look beyond your curated feed

yep, they just 'restaurantsplaining' instead of cooking

what's the harm in sharing your honest opinion about a recipe or restaurant? Not everyone can or wants to cook, but we can all learn from each other's experiences and adaptations. Your commentary can spark a discussion, not hinder creativity.

haha guess that's what happens when all your culinary skills come from watching foodie vids

that's because cooking is hard and complaining is easy 😂

Not everyone, let's not generalize - some of us are actually creating new recipes and sharing our passion for food, not just posting avocado toast pics.

pretty sure the only thing most people are "cooking" up is a storm of hot takes and mediocre food pics

yeah because reviewing 3-minute lunches from tinder eats is some kinda expertise now

yeah, for real. if you're so "cultured" and "discerning", where's your own culinary innovation, huh? easy to talk the talk, but let's see some real cooking skills.

so true! we all love to complain but how many of us are actually putting in the work to create something fresh and different?

lmao facts. like if you're not a michelin star chef shut up and let me eat my ramen in peace 🙄

you think being a foodie means having an opinion on cooking shows and restaurants but don't tbh have to put in the work?

fr. all take, no make. maybe try putting that time into actually making something for once instead

that's bc being a social media "food critic" just means spreading recipe virality, aka copy-pasting someone else's work and adding a hashtag

yeah, it's like we're all gourmet chefs from nowhere, sippin tea and flippin insults but how many of us could even boil

Ever think that's because we're too busy consuming what they're dishing out to actually try something original?

Same with coding, all these armchair architects but good luck finding someone who's actually read the Linux kernel source code

same girl, idk what's more exhausting, people judging someone's cooking or the fact that they're

tell me you've never even heard of a microwave before

Yh, same lol, people are more worried about taking a pic of their meal than actually putting in the effort to try something new. Where's the recipies and kitchen skills.
