The day on Yenta! pod has finally arrived! Chef Tova Sterling is HERE to talk about her new breakup-sex roleplay kink, stalker fantasies, unholy dating benders, and so much more. Chef Tova is a private chef-turned-internet-personality who built an online empire from behind her cutting board block, whispering about sex while making elaborate food for everyone online who likes to watch ;). While filming this episode in New York City, Raye is joined by guest host and comedian Ariel Elias for a deeply Jewish, deeply horny, and deeply committed-to-the-bit conversation with the creator of Sinners’ Shabbat, NYC’s gloriously sexy collision of Shabbat, burlesque, drag, dancing, and Jewish freaksz.Tova talks to Raye and Ariel about how a psychedelic trip led her to a brief stint at seminary, how she got kicked out of a Jewish professionals group for bringing her femdom friend, and how that moment sparked her to swap traditional Jewish spaces for a 300-person burlesque Shabbat. She also gets into the art of creating an internet persona, her life as a celebrity private chef, and why Jewish references are apparently one of the fastest routes to arousal.Plus: the Jewish boy who wasn’t attracted to her (until he was), Raye coming to terms with being a pillow princess, reading people’s kinks, and the increasingly complicated line between “a little unhinged” and “please change your locks.”Come for the Sinners’ Shabbat lore. Stay for Tova explaining why the right Jewish pervert might just be her soulmate.Follow Tova:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheftova/?hl=enSubscribe to the Patreon for bonus gossip, matchmaking, and the stuff too juicy for the main feed: / yenta Follow Raye:Instagram: / rayeschiller TikTok: / rayeschiller Follow Ariel:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariel_comedy/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ariel_comedyYenta is a Heeb Media podcast.

What even is Jewish food? Is it the dish itself or the love, joy, and obsession people bring it? Does that make Chinese food on Christmas Jewish? Slide into the vinyl seats of the deli booth with Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz of The Gefilteria as they bite into this big, messy question.

Listen to this bonus episode of Meet Me At The Deli, hosted by the co-hosts of our sibling podcast at the Heeb Media Podcast Network. Liz and Jeffrey, friends of the Yenta! pod and experts in the nouveau shtetl lifestyle, get into gut-healthy deli orders, the benefits of being an annoying customer, an amazing restaurant recommendation in Philly, a dog named Challah, and the ethics of the blueberry bagel.
