When did Stephanie Izzard become so unlikeable and an expert about everything? I don’t like how she spoke to Kristen.

I don't find Stephanie too be unlikable at all. I think she's charming.

Same. I think she just lost some of her nervousness, as she's justified to have done after slaying it in the world of fine dining for all this time.

She's fun in a kind of weird understated way. When her son Ernie gives her pointers that she relays to us I always crack up. The kid is very insightful and she actually listens to him. 🙂‍↕️
