Sarah Weiner on Arte; what's the deal?

[John Talbott]

This is a truly dumb, make that uninformed, question from someone who genuinely wants to know the answer. Who is Sarah Weiner? (yes, I’ve Googled her) and why is she treated like a culinary goddess/genius on Arte in “Les Aventures de ……” I only watched a smidgen tonight but I think I’m missing:

1. the back story,

2. the real story, or

3. the story.

Is she the new M. F. K. Fisher, Julia Child or Floyd or is this pure hype?

That Sarah Weiner?

That doesn't look like this Sarah Weiner.

I think John's Sarah Weiner also has a career as an Austrian singer - or maybe she is a third one. She is on Arte again tonight (À l'école des crustacés!) so perhaps things will become clearer - does she have an Austrian accent in French?

Sarah Weiner has a restaurant here in Berlin. I believe it is Ausrtian based cusine and very casual. She is on a cooking show here in Germany as well. I caught an episode of her Arte show. It wasn't my style, and I was surprised that she is doing a show about culinary adventures in France, but anything that gets Germans more interested and educated about the culunary world outside of Germany is ok by me.
