🇫🇷 French, Kosher & Finally Good 🍷 | Call Her Tatty ft. Chef Olivia Ostrow

What do duck fat, divine timing, and the kosher restaurants have in common? They’re all on the menu in this week’s Call Her Tatty.

Chava sits down with chef and restaurateur Olivia Ostrow, the force behind Miami’s new kosher fine dining spot, to talk about food, faith, and why most kosher restaurants are serving mediocrity with a blessing on top.

They dive into the secret sauce of running a high-end kosher kitchen: staff drama, supervision chaos, and whether non-kosher food actually tastes better or people just haven’t met a real chef yet.

There’s Michelin-level insight, bouillabaisse banter, and more shade than a sukkah in July.

👩🏻‍🍳 For foodies who want flavor and halacha
🕯️ For tatties who think “French” means garlic bread
🎧 For anyone who’s ever whispered “is this even pareve?”
