But in Milan and Cortina, she\u2019s also representing a very specific group: people who love Caesar salad. TBH, I&#8217;ve never felt more seen. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">When she\u2019s not on the rink, Frankel dedicates her time to a self-proclaimed \u201cpassion project\u201d where she reviews Caesar salad from different restaurants. Her second Instagram account, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/painbyromaine\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/painbyromaine\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"@painbyromaine,\" data-node-id=\"3.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">@painbyromaine,<\/a> has nearly 6,000 followers (and counting) who keep tabs on her salad-related takes.  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">On the account, you can find salads Frankel herself ate as well as those submitted by friends from all over the world. And based on the reviews so far, there are a few key judging criteria: the lettuce should be well-dressed, the cheese should be abundant, and the anchovies should be present (but NOT served whole). <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The reviews also reveal that a Caesar can show up in many forms, like on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJm7jkVOzTZ\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJm7jkVOzTZ\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"chicken cutlet\" data-node-id=\"7.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">chicken cutlet<\/a>, on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFbsmy6APxl\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFbsmy6APxl\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"pizza\" data-node-id=\"7.3\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">pizza<\/a>, and even on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRkRYpdDqWx\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRkRYpdDqWx\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"hot dog \" data-node-id=\"7.5\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">hot dog <\/a>(yes, really).

Fans of her home team, the Boston Fleet, have made custom signs celebrating her salad side hustle. The Professional Women\u2019s Hockey League has crowned her the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DUoH6fVgP60\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DUoH6fVgP60\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"\u201c#1 Caesar Salad Fan.\u201d\" data-node-id=\"9.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">\u201c#1 Caesar Salad Fan.\u201d<\/a>  She&#8217;s even taken over her team\u2019s social media channels to ask for <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PWHL_Boston\/status\/1990114333951504731\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PWHL_Boston\/status\/1990114333951504731\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Caesar salad recommendations\" data-node-id=\"9.3\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">Caesar salad recommendations<\/a> during away games. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">For now, Frankel is putting her salad reviews on pause.
