A confession: I love With Love, Meghan. Yes, the very surreal Netflix food and lifestyle show from Meghan Sussex is confounding, but that is also what makes it so endlessly fascinating. Why is our host wearing pristine Loro Piana while cooking? Why is she wrapping everything in plastic? Why are there flower sprinkles on every food item? Is this rainbow fruit platter necessary? Why are we watching her prepare for a fictional children’s party? When her friend and make-up artist, Daniel Martin, describes her single skillet spaghetti as “coz”, why does she reply, “It’s like the Beyoncé song ‘Cozy’”?
So, naturally, when the show was immediately renewed for a second season, I could hardly wait—and now it’s landed, bringing eight more episodes of head-scratching behavior, alongside guests including Chrissy Teigen, Tan France and Samin Nosrat. The first episode, featuring New York culinary legends David Chang and Christina Tosi, is everything you’d hope for—a half an hour rollercoaster of flower arranging, crafty interludes and making niche flavored marshmallows—and, in all honesty, it’s filling the And Just Like That-shaped hole in my heart. Below, find the 39 most pressing questions I had while watching the season two opener.
