Manu Feildel cut a downcast figure on Wednesday when he was spotted walking his dog in Sydney, just days after he was blasted by fans for calling a customer a ‘Karen’.
The celebrity chef, 50, looked in low spirits while he played fetch with his dog outside his home in the beachside suburb of Maroubra.
The My Kitchen Rules judge donned a beige polo top and jeans for the outing, pairing the look with sneakers.
He accessorised with a Sydney Roosters baseball cap as he played with his beloved pooch.
At one point, Manu’s attention shifted to his mobile phone, where he was seen chatting intently with a focused expression.
The normally upbeat celebrity chef did not appear to be his usual self during the outing, with his downcast demeanour indicating he is still struggling with recent criticisms.
However, Manu’s face lit up as the day went on and he engaged in some fun games with his pet, and he appeared to be welcoming the lively distraction.
It comes after Manu ruffled the feathers of his fans earlier this week, as he fired back at a critic of his month-old restaurant, branding them a ‘Karen’.

Taking to Instagram, Manu shared an image of a negative review of his Bistro Red Lion By Manu in Rozelle, in Sydney’s inner west.
‘Noise in the bistro was so loud it was hard to hear people at our table,’ the unnamed customer complained.
‘Food [was] a little bland and lacking a sense of great combined flavours,’ they continued, before adding ‘presentation of the scallop boudin [was] off putting.’
‘Please keep working on the cuisine. Wine selection was good. Best wishes,’ the reviewer concluded.

Manu shared a negative review of his restaurant to social media and added his own comment, ‘Thanks Karen!’ – a slang term for a person who is perceived as entitled or excessively demanding
Manu shared the review, then added his own comment, ‘Thanks Karen!’ – a slang term for a person who is perceived as entitled or excessively demanding.
However, fans swiftly turned on the chef in the comments section of his post – noting the irony of a TV cooking judge taking issue with mild criticism.
‘Oh Manu, jeez mate you co host a cooking show ffs, whereby you critique the contestants yet it appears you have a problem with what reads as a fair comment mate.. sheesh… can’t take the heat? Get out of the kitchen,’ wrote one incensed fan.
Manu opened his new bistro in the iconic 196-year-old pub Red Lion in Rozelle, Sydney last month – occupying the upper level of the pub.
He helms the restaurant with his decade-long friend Jamie Gannon, who is the group executive chief of the pub’s owner Laundy Hotels.
