Ross talks to the Friends that Monica's restaurant got a horrible review in the Post, and he buys all the newspapers from the block to make nobody knows about it. Monica sees the newspapers and stays upset with the review. She wants the writer of the review to taste her food again to change his opinion about it. She finds him in a cooking course and gives him her food for him to try one more time, but he continues to have the same opinion about her food.

Monica and Joey decide to watch and participate the cooking course, but Monica doesn't like when Joey gets better compliments then her in the cookies.
