Who is behind Allez Celine, the Instagram meme account known for skewering chef bros, wealthy restaurant owners, and badly behaved customers while trafficking hilariously in the stereotypes that surround the hospitality world? It’s Ivy Knight, the writer and filmmaker who is also a fierce champion of the hardworking back-of-house underdog.

Ivy joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her cult meme account; why she loves Celine Dion and Anthony Bourdain, but hates brunch, ramps, and the patriarchy; and why she still believes in restaurants.
