"It was accidental," El-Waylly tells Shawn Walchef, host of Restaurant Influencers. "I didn't know anything about media like I didn't know what the New York Times was or Bon Appetit or any of this stuff. So none of it intimidated me."
"It was kind of good because I got to figure a lot out while nobody was paying attention," she says. "Because nobody read anything I wrote for years."
"I kind of came out of nowhere with a totally different perspective, which I think helped me because everyone else has this very traditional Ivy League higher education," she says. "I was a cook who just taught themselves how to write."
