Stars! They’re just like us! They drink $5 Chili’s margaritas and have Taco Bell cravings at 1 a.m.
You might think that the rich and famous survive exclusively on a diet of caviar, wagyu, and Don Julio 1942. But Hollywood A-listers like Selena Gomez, Travis Kelce, and Adele get the same hankerings for chain restaurants as the rest of us. Here are the 13 most surprising spots your favorites celebs have a culinary soft spot for.
Jennifer Lawrence: Jack in the Box and McDonald’s
While promoting the movie Red Sparrow, the actress opened up about her fast food craving—and the compromises she made instead.
“I didn’t starve for [Red Sparrow]… I can’t live that kind of life,” she said, according to Entertainment Tonight. “I just would want Jack in the Box and just [would have] to eat chicken breasts, so that to me is like I’m starving!”
However, just because she followed a stringent diet for filming doesn’t mean she’s written off fast food altogether. Ahead of 2013 Academy Award win for Best Actress, Lawrence fueled up with one of her faves: McDonald’s.
“I forgot to eat because it was so stressful at my house and I didn’t have time,” she said in an interview, per The Hollywood Reporter. “I was in the car, and I was like, ‘I’m starving and the show’s four hours long.’ I’m looking at the golden arches for McDonald’s here.”
“I’ll eat it in the bathroom. Just get me a freaking Happy Meal!” she told her publicist.
Anna Kendrick: Taco Bell
Anna Kendrick’s passion for Taco Bell dates back over a decade. During a 2012 appearance on TBS’ Conan, the actress revealed that “it’s a dirty thing” that she loves Taco Bell “so much.”
“I cannot eat Taco Bell before midnight. I drive out of my way to go to the one with a drive-thru so I don’t have to go inside and then I’ll just eat it in the parking lot in my car,” she admitted.
She revealed her go-to order in 2017, writing, “Just tried taco bell’s doritos taco. I can see why they sold 100 million of these already. This is no joke.”
Lili Reinhart: Chipotle and Domino’s
Lili Reinhart has been pretty open about her passion for fast food.
“My diet’s pretty terrible, which isn’t great, but it’s like I figure food makes me happy when I eat I want so I’m not going to be miserable and kind of limit myself,” she told Elle Magazine in an interview. “[Dinner is] where I eat a lot of my Chipotle and pizza and whatever else I can get my hands on.”
On social media, she’s cited both Chipotle and Domino’s among her favorites. “*Not sponsored by Chipotle, though I wish I was*” she captioned one Instagram story. “Brb ordering Domino’s now,” she wrote on Twitter.
Kylie Jenner: In-N-Out
It’s no secret Kylie Jenner loveessssss her In-N-Out. While previously dishing on her pregnancy cravings, the reality television personality admitted to frequenting the burger joint.
“It’s just In-N-Out these days literally tastes like…It’s the best I’ve ever had,” she said during in a video montage that documented her pregnancy with first child, Stormi Webster.
Her obsession hasn’t let up either. Just earlier this year, the reality star stopped by with bestie Stassie in tow, and ordered a double double cheeseburger protein style with grilled onions, French fries, and a Coca-Cola.
Kathy Hilton: The Cheesecake Factory
Early this year, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star (and mom to Paris Hilton) Kathy Hilton opened up about her and her husband’s weekly date night at The Cheesecake Factory.
“We go there once a week,” Hilton said, before admitting that she’s a fan of the meatloaf because “where [else] can you get meatloaf?” Rick “really likes the chicken [Alfredo]” and “also the one that you dip with sauce,” she added about her husband’s order.
“All their food is good… It’s local, it’s right there and fresh and busy all the time,” the Hilton matriarch said. “Actually, you walk in there and there are people. We love that! We don’t want to sit in a restaurant with nobody in the room.”
Kanye West: McDonald’s
The controversial rapper is so obsessed with McDonald’s that he even wrote a poem about the chain back in 2016. He also tweeted about his affection for Micky D’s (calling it his “favorite” restaurant), appeared in a Super Bowl ad for the chain, and even collaborated with the brand on a packaging redesign.
Travis Kelce: Burger King
During an episode of his New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce ranked his top fast food burgers—with Burger King landed the coveting number one slot.
“I think Burger King’s got the best fast food burgers,” Travis said, to which his brother Jason agreed: “I’ve been saying that for years.”
Chrissy Teigen: McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Shake Shack
Our girl Chrissy Teigen previously told Delish that she eats fast food “a few times a week.”
“Sometimes I go a little crazy, especially when things get nuts and I’m in L.A. I’m used to living in New York and I myself would never ever venture into a Taco Bell or McDonald’s,” she said. “But there’s something about L.A., with the drive-thru—it’s too easy. I get haters who ask why I would eat that kind of meat? There’s a balance with anything. When I cook, everything is organic and very clean; I’m meticulous and kind of insane about it. But sometimes you just want a Doritos Locos Taco.” True.
As for her go-to fast food burger, Teigen’s opinion is a controversial one: “I’m gonna go ahead and say Shake Shack over In-N-Out.”
Adele: McDonald’s
Fast food is a regular part of Adele’s diet. The singer revealed to British Vogue that her “death row meal” is McDonald’s.
“My ideal meal, my death row meal, my last meal, would be a McChicken Nugget with a Big Mac and then fries,” she told the outlet. “That’s my three-course. I eat it at least once a week!”
Paris Hilton: McDonald’s
During an episode of Paris Hilton’s Peacock series Paris in Love, the heiress stopped by the golden-arched fast food joint with her little brother.
“I feel like all I’ve been doing lately is stressing about my wedding and I just need a break,” Paris said in the show. “So I’m going to go hang out with my brother Barron because he’s one of the only people that I trust. He never judges me and always gives good advice.”
“Wanna go to McDonald’s?” he suggested, before admitting that his wife doesn’t typically allow it. “Don’t tell Carter either because I’m on the ProLon cleanse with him,” she said. “It’s like soups and olives and like vitamins. It’s good but I’m starving and want McDonald’s.”
The DJ ordered a hamburger, Oreo McFlurry, a number 4-A, and Sprite while still “trying to be healthy.”
Selena Gomez: Chili’s
Selena gomez might “like going to nice restaurants,” but that doesn’t mean she’s opposed to a good ‘ole classic chain either. “I’m also into Chili’s,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I love going to Chili’s and having queso and chips.”
Nate Bargatze: Applebee’s
Not only did Nate Bargatze work at Applebee’s and meet his wife at Applebee’s, but the comedian is a self-proclaimed “big fan” of the restaurant chain.
His favorite on the menu? “They had the chicken broccoli Alfredo. I’d get no broccoli. Get that out of there,” Bargatze said on a recent episode of the Smartless Podcast. “I’d say put that on the side just so the guy thinks I’m going to eat it and then he’d just take a full plate of broccoli back after, and I’d go, ‘Ah, I got full on the other stuff.”
Will Arnett: Chili’s
“Here’s what I like, I like Chili’s,” Will Arnett chimed in on the same podcast episode with Bargatze. “They used to have the Southwest egg rolls or whatever. Me and Dax [Shepard] used to go. God, I love Chili’s.”
