Kitchen staff do have a super high rate of addiction. It’s almost like they’re there through Stockholm Syndrome. I have a friend who was in that and had to GTFO. He couldn’t stay in food service and get clean.
White privileged? Certainly! Her family owned a little flower shop in the middle of Pennsylvania. Started her off in a local college for an associate’s degree in communication, and they sent her to a local culinary institute when she wanted to pursue it. She graduated from that and showed talent, so they sent her off to a cooking school in Italy. Even moderate wealth begets wealth.
She returned to the US as a sous chef, hopped a couple of places, and got noticed by some well-known chefs. It was a lot of privilege, but she had some pretty decent talent. She moved to teaching at a culinary institute. A restaurant in the Village in NYC recruited her as their Executive Chef. She left there after a year due to the chaos, and was thinking of opening her own place. Food Network, always on the lookout for a bargain, picked her up and used her to run several shows. She had a decent personality. She opened up her own restaurant with the FN money, and it failed out of the gate like most do.
She wrote a couple of cookbooks, got married to someone she met on an online dating site a couple of years ago, was leaving the cooking scene altogether, and trying to edge into improv comedy, when she took a bunch of pills after 1 am and was found dead by her husband. She was 55.
It’s hard to discern online personality and editing from real life. She was funny, charismatic. They never made her into the callibur of asshole they normally seem to do to make her palatable to cooking show enthusiasts.

Why are you so angry?
Maybe jealous? Maybe doesn’t like women?
Shrugs
Maybe just having a bad day?
