BuySomeApples, this looks great. The article is supported with many news articles, neutral, and clear of copyvio. Hook is very clearly mentioned in both the article and the sources you provided, and a QPQ has been done. The New York Post is notorious for its editorial practices (WP:NYPOST), but I think in this case their food writing (and how you used it in the article) is fine, especially since the fact is mentioned by other news reports.

Thank you! I removed the NY Post article just to be safe. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:33, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
