Liz Woods from 90 Day Fiancé is famous for being Big Ed Brown’s girlfriend, but the San Diego woman also has a cool job that some people don't know about. Although somewhat of a newcomer to the franchise, Liz has become a popular face, especially after her debut on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7. Liz was initially introduced in 90 Day: The Single Life season 1, when she reluctantly started dating reality TV star, Big Ed. Some viewers suspected that Liz was after fame, and faking her feelings, but she eventually got engaged to her controversial partner in August 2021. This followed a dramatic split in the Tell-All episode. If they remain together, Big Ed and Liz will get married in HEA.
When Big Ed introduced Liz to fans on 90 Day: The Single Life, he called her a “totally hot waitress manager,” and said that she was his friend. He had a crush on her, and admired Liz for being a mom who was completely independent. The restaurant where she was working was called Encontro North Park, and it’s situated at 3001 University Ave. San Diego. This industrial-chic spot serves American fare like flame-grilled meats and hearty salads. 90 Day Fiancé cast member Liz still appears to be working at Encontro North Park, as per her Instagram. Right now, Liz has a total of 158k followers on IG, and has used her page to promote multiple brand sponsorships. She also has a Cameo account, where she charges $45 for a personalized video.
Did 90 Day Fiancé Star Big Ed Cause Trouble For Liz At Work?
In October 2021, an online review of the restaurant revealed something troubling to 90 Day Fiancé fans. The patron had shared photos of their meal delivery boxes, which were covered with stickers featuring Big Ed’s face. According to the Google review, the fan had called the restaurant out for that “disturbing” move, and claimed that the stickers made them lose their appetite. The reviewer mocked 90 Day Fiancé's Liz’s workplace for using the D-list celebrity's face on their takeout boxes, as reported by Overtimer.
It’s unknown why the restaurant chose to put Big Ed on their official packaging. It's possible that they were running some kind of collaboration with him, since he's an influencer. Meanwhile, in February of this year, Instagram user @truecrimejankie had reposted a Reddit post from a TLC viewer who'd visited Encontro. They had mentioned that the food there was “delicious,” adding that the eatery is a must-visit for someone visiting San Diego. The Redditor seemed to have asked the bartender if Liz still worked at the restaurant. That employee told the TLC viewer how Liz, “just picks up random shifts,” because she and 90 Day Fiancé star Big Ed “got a big TV deal now, are filming and doesn’t need to.”
It’s possible that Big Ed and Liz were filming 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7 back then, but Liz doesn't seem to have quit her job, even after tasting reality TV fame. On the recent episode, she opened up about her two failed marriages, while she was taking Big Ed to meet her grandparents, Lavina and Richard. Liz has been married twice before, and is scared of her potential third marriage with Big Ed also ending in divorce. Perhaps she doesn’t want to give up on her hospitality job just yet, considering Big Ed might think of her as replaceable. Will he return to a new 90 Day Fiancé spin-off with another young woman, like Rose Vega or Liz, in the future?
