“My favorite meal as a child was Caesar salad, a filet mignon with béarnaise sauce, and crème brûlée!”
Barf. |

I’m glad I was not the only one thinking WTF.
She also seems to drink a lot |

I mean this is also how some of the parents I know talk about their young kids. “Oh little Larla won’t touch pizza but she loves a beet salad with carbonara!” Like having expensive or sophisticated taste in food as a child appears to be a class marker. She sounds awful. I might enjoy eating this way if I were young and childless and had endless money (she’s got to have a trust fund— no one I know in Big Law or consulting lives like this all the time. But her personality is exhausting. I may be the only one who got this far, but there’s this whole anecdote where she brings her own ingredients to L’Annexe to see what cocktail they’ll come up with, and then the ingredients wind up on the menu and she claims credit, including to a chef from Chez Billy Sud who stops by. Like can you imagine actually talking to a person this self-congratulatory? Oh and quoting her friend calling her tiny and referencing all the food she eats? Part of me thinks she wrote it as parody because this is exactly the kind of anecdote you’d share if you wanted someone to HATE a character. It’s hard to believe an actual person is this un-self-aware. |

| I gained weight just reading this. And she drinks a disgusting amount of alcohol. |

It all sounds delicious to me. I still think it is an absurd amount of money but it is creating jobs so there is that. Her grocery shopping is nearly nil as she subsists on coffee drinks, leftovers, berries, and baked goods. I WISH I could pull that off.
I feel her on the berries though. Our family of 3 goes through at least 2lb strawberries, 1-2 pints of raspberries and 1 pint of black or blueberries per week. |

| I can't believe she eats all that food. Did she leave out the part where she's bulimic? |

The twitter comments were hilarious for this article and then the University Club (with no self awareness) promoted it in their insta.
It reads like an Onion article. I loved every bit of it and then I started crying inside that people like this are our future. OMG. |

The piece was a little tone-deaf, but Twitter is such a cesspool of jealousy and hate. I suppose she should self-flagellate until a bunch of anxiety-ridden, underachieving Twitter warriors feel better about themselves. I say this as someone who makes less than half what the writer of that BA piece makes and couldn't define the sport of squash if you held a gun to my head. |

| Her halmoni would be furious if she saw what her granddaughter was eating and the money she spent on food. |

I barely read this, but last month’s column was about a waitress in grad school making $18,000.

That column was also ridiculous. Making 18k and spending $184 (plus food bought by her dad) in a week. The math is really off there. |

The thing is, this woman is not a foodie, she just thinks she is. She’s a pretentious snob who correlates value with cost. While a real foodie would certainly experience some high cost menus, they would also be seeking out the hole in the wall places that make fabulous food.
Boyfriend better be prepared to bankroll this princess for life and get nothing in return. |

You make less than half what this lady makes and you’re calling the Twitter posters underachieving? Ok loser. Their comments were funny and accurate. |
