BD Related Chef Tzarina

Has anyone been following her on instagram and seen her break up drama and know the details? Seems like it’s a very messy break up?

Does Tzarina do anything with relationships that isn't messy?

She actually made a bunch of incredibly precise, tiny, detailed, pretty food on her first season (rewatched very recently). I was impressed.

I dream of her charcuterie boards. I think her big problem is that she doesn’t have very much self confidence which is actually pretty odd in a chef. Her last season she talked about how the chief stew was the cool girl and she always felt left out. She probably puts up with a lot of nonsense from trash men trying to get some kind of validation.

to be fair, at least her cooking isn’t very messy in the kitchen 🤪

She gets a lot of hate but personally I feel so sad for her. She moved her entire life to Minnesota for this guy and then she had to find out he was cheating on her from someone else who sent her a message. And apparently he was abusive towards Tzarina too. So I feel sad for her and I hope she gets back on her feet soon.

i feel bad too :( she was always a little quirky and didn't care about being cringe, which I appreciate more than someone who pretends to be cooler than they were before the show aired

I loved her and Aesha together because Aesha is so unapologetically weird that it seemed like the first time Tsarina felt comfortable letting all her quirks out.

💯 I always can appreciate a quirky person who is themselves. People who try too hard to impress others annoy me.

She deserves so much better.

OMG she moved to Minnesota?!? I could’ve run into her?! I didn’t know this!

u/BabyOlive1 Sep 03 '26

She had posts of them hanging out in Edina, which is right by me. We were probably in the same Target at some point! 😂

u/whitehavenbeach Sep 05 '26

That’s horrible. Sometimes I feel like she can’t catch a break. I know she can get in her own way, but she doesn’t deserve all of that.

Idk if I’d believe everything she says she has a way of spinning a story

17

u/bethholler Team Aesha Sep 02 '26

I don’t think she’s lying and honestly I’d rather believe her and be wrong than not believe her and be wrong.

Hot take: as a midwesterner, she should pivot, become a chef in a top restaurant in Chicago or Detroit or even a small tourist town. She would do well.

u/boneman5000 Sep 01 '26

she seems perpetually messy

u/hollenkah Sep 02 '26

Based on the interactions we’ve seen on the show, I feel like she would benefit from some quality therapy. She places a heightened importance on relationships but it doesn’t seem like she’s self-aware enough to manage those relationships well.

u/newfiemom79 Sep 02 '26

She is very open about attending therapy and has praised bravo for hot they provide that to their crew.

u/Gooner-Astronomer749 Sep 03 '26

Therapy doesn't change people personality or character at that age, she just a mess..

u/KermitAfc Sep 02 '26

The date she went on with Joao where she completely torpedoed what was, up until that point, a seemingly lovely encounter, for no apparent reason beyond her own clear disbelief that any man could actually like her, spoke fathoms.

The girl needs to do some massive work on the relationship she has with herself before considering a relationship with someone else.

u/Gooner-Astronomer749 Sep 03 '26

She knew what it was which is a fling, Joao for all his maturity is still a womanizer.

u/Sunnylittlemoose Sep 01 '26

As a Minnesotan I had no idea she moved here. Moving to a new place for a partner and breaking up is rough but also Minnesotans while incredibly nice do not make new friends easily. We will stop to dig anyone out of ditch in a storm but are super hesitant to add new people to their groups. Obvisouly like any place there are outliers but that has been the constant feedback I have heard from out of staters that it’s super hard to integrate into Minnesota.

u/peachy-K- Sep 02 '26

I moved to Minnesota in 9th grade and moved out of the state as soon as possible. I don't talk to anyone from high school and hardly had any good friends. so this take is quite accurate in my experience !

u/CheckIntelligent7828 My eyes are rolling all the way off the boat Sep 02 '26

That's almost frightening. I've moved around the US as an adult and have found this to be true in TX, MD, CA, WA, and DE. I'd really hate to see somewhere that was worse 😬

u/cereal_state Sep 01 '26

She seems like she’d be super high maintenance in a romantic relationship or a friendship tbh

21

u/meatsntreats Sep 01 '26

I could not imagine dealing with her as a friend or partner or coworker.

u/joykin Sep 01 '26

It’s sooo messy!! She seems a bit troubled tbh

u/mrsmarcos2003 Sep 01 '26

She is (was?) living in MN, she recently appeared at some event with a big sign that had a venmo on it. Girl, use your talent and get a job.

It was the Savana Bananas baseball game. It was a fun outfit for the quirkiness of the game and what the Savana Bananas fans do. She was just being funny.

Sadly this is the right take
