In this episode of Call Her Tatty, Lizzy Savetsky takes a rare break from the political battlefield and brings us back to her OG influencer days. Together with her husband, top plastic surgeon Dr Ira Savetsky, the couple opens up about fame, marriage, Real Housewives drama, plastic surgery myths, and what really goes on behind their viral videos.
Lizzy shares how she went from “Excessories Expert” to outspoken Jewish activist, and how being unapologetically herself changed everything. Ira breaks down the truth about cosmetic procedures, the dangers of discount surgery trips, and how social media has transformed the beauty industry.
It is honest, hilarious, and full of the chaos only the Savetskys can bring.

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?”
