Bal Harbour may be small, but it carries serious weight. If you’ve ever stayed here, shopped here, sat in traffic on Collins, or wondered who actually runs this place, this episode is for you.

On this episode of Call Her Tatty, I sit down with Mayor Seth Salver, our first politician on the show. We talk about what people think a mayor does versus what the job really looks like, how a one-square-mile city became a global destination, and what it means to lead Bal Harbour today.

We get into the history people don’t talk about, including the original deed language that tried to keep Jews out, and what it means now to have an Orthodox Jewish mayor during the city’s 80th year. Seth also breaks down what really went into hosting Prime Minister Netanyahu, from Secret Service-level security to full street shutdowns on New Year’s Eve.

We also talk about faith in public office, Shabbat, traffic, scooters, walkability, and why local politics matters more than people realize.

If you live in South Florida, vacation here, invest here, or just want a real, no-spin look at leadership in a high-visibility community, this conversation is worth your time.

In this episode of Call Her Tatty, Lizzy Savetsky takes a rare break from the political battlefield and brings us back to her OG influencer days. Together with her husband, top plastic surgeon Dr Ira Savetsky, the couple opens up about fame, marriage, Real Housewives drama, plastic surgery myths, and what really goes on behind their viral videos.

Lizzy shares how she went from “Excessories Expert” to outspoken Jewish activist, and how being unapologetically herself changed everything. Ira breaks down the truth about cosmetic procedures, the dangers of discount surgery trips, and how social media has transformed the beauty industry.

What do duck fat, divine timing, and the kosher restaurants have in common? They’re all on the menu in this week’s Call Her Tatty.

Chava sits down with chef and restaurateur Olivia Ostrow, the force behind Miami’s new kosher fine dining spot, to talk about food, faith, and why most kosher restaurants are serving mediocrity with a blessing on top.

They dive into the secret sauce of running a high-end kosher kitchen: staff drama, supervision chaos, and whether non-kosher food actually tastes better or people just haven’t met a real chef yet.

There’s Michelin-level insight, bouillabaisse banter, and more shade than a sukkah in July.

👩🏻‍🍳 For foodies who want flavor and halacha
🕯️ For tatties who think “French” means garlic bread
🎧 For anyone who’s ever whispered “is this even pareve?”

What’s up sheifelehs. In the first episode of Call Her Tatty, Chava sits down with her husband, Zoli Honig. They talk about their wild love story, how a friend made their shidduch to other people, and how they ended up together after divorce.

They get into yeshivish childhoods, Bais Yaakov rules, marriage at 21, the Upper West Side myth, Miami life, and why this podcast had to happen. Zoli tries to be smart. Chava calls him out.

If your Tatty wouldn’t want you listening, this one’s for you.
