The aroma of woodsmoke and roasting meats filled the air as Anya surveyed her bustling BBQ joint. The sound of happy chatter and satisfied sighs filled her with a sense of accomplishment. She had built this from the ground up, and the success was truly satisfying.

A text message. "The Grub Guru" had published a review: "Anya's BBQ: An Insult to Meat." Her chest tightened.

The critic lambasted her ribs as "overcooked," her sides as "bland," and the atmosphere as "chaotic." Her jaw clenched. She took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. She knew her customers loved her food, and that was what mattered. She walked into the kitchen with a determined step. She had work to do.
