"Christine Nguyen, owner of the Sweet Boutique Bakery in Sugar Land, said she was on the verge of closing her bakery in 2020 when Chow Down followers showed up. As a last-ditch effort to bring in more customers, Nguyen tried making a large batch of baked mochi donuts — a first for the Houston area, but pandemic guidelines were strict and many people were wary of being indoors. Nguyen’s sister put out a plea on Chow Down, and that same week, there was a long line of visitors from Chow Down, Nguyen said." - Brittany Britto Garley
