How a webcomic about a restaurant became my pandemic parable

The best meals satisfy more than hunger. I should know; I’ve done my fair share of quarantine comfort cooking, because I love every aspect of the process. Particularly feeding other people, especially since I moved back in with my parents a month and a half into lockdown. One of the dishes I’ve been most proud of is a recipe I developed myself, a spicy chicken alfredo penne that I first made for my dad on his birthday and have made multiple times since because he and my mom tough critics both enjoyed it so much they went back for seconds and even thirds.
