She has posted recipes that went viral on Instagram, commonly called #TheStew and #TheCookies.[3][4][5] Her recipes and online presence gained traction when home cooking increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7][8] She previously worked as a pastry chef at Sona in Los Angeles,[3] at Quince in San Francisco,[9] and for Christina Tosi at Milk Bar in New York City.[10]

In May 2020, Roman was criticized on social media for an interview in which she made flippant remarks about the product lines of Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo, both of Asian descent.[11] Critics highlighted the racial undertones in Roman's remarks. Roman later apologized, admitting that her white privilege had played a role in blinding her from the insensitivity of the remarks, as well as influencing her initial reaction when criticized on social media. Roman's New York Times column was subsequently suspended.[12][13]

Unless you mean they do "give whoever they find cool a freeish house", which is... also bad in other ways.
