‘The Patient’ Finally Exposes the Creepiest People Ever: Foodies
Hulu’s The Patient dares to expose the creepiest community lurking in our society. They walk amongst us, these fiends, ravenous to fulfill their unending cravings. They slurp the blood from steaks as if it were red wine. This community of barbaric individuals must be stopped, and thankfully, Domhnall Gleeson’s terrifying character takes a stand.
No, I’m not talking about murderers. I’m talking about foodies.
A “foodie,” as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads.” It is not someone who likes to cook—no, this isn’t The Bear—nor is it someone who has an invested appreciation for specific food groups. A foodie is someone who tears into food fads, utters the phrase “Instagram eats first!” at restaurants, and abandons the fad as soon as the next avocado toast/rainbow bagel/sriracha variation comes along.
