Get ready for a story that will leave you hungry for more! Aerin Frankel, the USA's goalie, has become an unexpected viral sensation, but not for her saves on the ice.
Frankel, known as the "Green Monster" for her solid defense, has a secret passion that has captured the internet's attention. Her love for Caesar salads is so intense that she created an entire Instagram account dedicated to reviewing them! Yes, you read that right.
But here's where it gets controversial... Frankel's Caesar salad reviews have stolen the spotlight, even during the 2026 Winter Olympics! While her athletic prowess is undeniable, it's her culinary adventures that have everyone talking.
"It's like my little escape," Frankel shared with USA TODAY Sports. "I've always loved Caesar salads, and when a friend suggested I document my adventures, it just stuck."
And this is the part most people miss: Frankel's account is a labor of love. She's tried Caesar salads from Nova Scotia to Greece, and her reviews are detailed and honest. She even has a favorite in Boston and rates Sugo in Toronto as the best she's ever had.
During the Olympics, Frankel has been busy reviewing Milan's Caesar salad scene. Her first review of the Games gave Mugs & Co. Cozy Cafe & Bakery a solid 7.8/10, praising Italy's "high-quality meat and cheese." But she did note that Italian Caesar dressing is a unique experience, different from the classic version she's accustomed to.
"It's been a bit shocking to see the response," Frankel admitted. "But it's also kind of funny. I mean, who knew my salad reviews would become a thing?"
Frankel isn't alone in her foodie fame. Andrew Torgashev, an American figure skater, earned the title "The Pizza King" after a 53-day pizza streak! He proudly declares himself a "Pizza Ambassador" on Instagram.
So, is it fair that these athletes are making headlines for their culinary adventures? Should we celebrate their passions beyond the sports field? Let's discuss! What do you think? Are these foodie adventures a refreshing change, or do they distract from their athletic achievements? The floor is yours!
