Artisanal sandwich shop shutters after ruthless mocking of its insanely expensive grilled cheese

The Farmer’s Wife in the Bay Area closed its remaining cafes after online critics mocked its $22 grilled cheese, prompting the shutdown.
Owner Kendra Kolling attributed the closure to a cooling economy and a viral Reddit thread that damaged the shop’s ratings.
One location was replaced by Culture Shop Cafe, which offers lower-cost options and reduced prices on most items.
Kolling said the high prices reflected the cost of premium ingredients, including house-made fennel sausage and local cheeses.
Kolling said she might consider reopening, but for now she is rebuilding after the personal toll of online attacks.
The story underscores how online criticism can influence small businesses and sales in a fragile economy.
