In fairness, she had a lot of success before Mae. She has been culinary director of the BuJo burger restaurants as well as being head chef at Clanbrassil House restaurant. And even if she had help with Mae, you don't get to run place that successful without being good.I don’t know if I’d class her as all that successful? Her restaurant was only possible because of backing from her boyfriend’s parents who own the building.
It's more how she goes on that pisses me off. For me, dropping your native accent is base treachery !
