The female chef exposing restaurants' sex and drug culture
'H i, Slutty,' I say to the young female chef who is holding out a hand to greet me. It feels rude calling this stranger 'Slutty', but Slutty Cheff is the alias under which she has built a cult following on Instagram of 43,000. Her anonymous account, where she never reveals her name or her face (it is usually obscured by a burger emoji or a burger-shaped balaclava), has become a hot favourite among Gen Zers.
She won't tell me which restaurants she has worked in, but says they are the sorts of places where the critics Giles Coren and Grace Dent would eat. Her online persona is a version of her that is 'obnoxious, narcissistic, self-obsessed and at times sarky and mean. Right now, no way am I mentally stable enough to put my face [out there].'
