Oprah Is One Of 7 Celebrities You’d Never Guess Are HUGE Foodies
Even though everyone eats, not everyone devours cuisine culture. It’s the foodies who relish in the brainstorming, the cooking, the dining, and the blessed “how good was that” ramblings of a sleepy smiley goof of total satisfaction. But it’s not just you and your friends. Celebrities absolutely have foodies in their ranks. Here’s a few of the most famous, most vocal diners.
1. Chrissy Teigen
The model, TV host, and notably hilarious charmer (alongside husband John Legend) has never been shy about her starry-eyed love affair with all that is edible. She leveled up when she created her foodie site called So Delushious. What was once (what she called) “personal random ramblings from a girl who loves bacon and can’t be fat” is now a solid, very stylish food blog. She also puts exclusive recipes on Snapchat. She even has a cookbook coming out called Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat.

Given that he’s the highest-paid athlete, it should be no surprise that the flashy undefeated boxer pays his personal chef an absurd amount. But maybe you weren’t expecting Quiana Jeffries, known professionally as Chef Q, to be collecting $1,000 per plate in the lead-up to the champ’s “Battle for Greatness” match with Manny Pacquiao.

When Japanese chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa open his Beverly Hills restaurant in the late 1980s, it fast became a go-to for the Hollywood legend, who’s been cool from Mean Streets to Dirty Grandpa. A few years later, the actor and chef teamed up to open the now-famous Nobu in New York, which became an instant darling of the critics and public alike. Matsuhisa and De Niro’s Nobu restaurants have since opened across the world, from London to Hong Kong.

Of course the media empress cooks from scratch, given that there’s nothing she can’t do. I mean, she’s acted, run a magazine, and hosted the daytime talk show; cooking is nothing to her. But she adores the activity and culture surrounding it, and the best part is that she’s more than down to share recipes, cooking advice, or just her favorite snacks. From quick fixes like corn fritters (Stedman’s favorite) to homemade classics like chicken and wild rice, she wants her following to eat as well as she is.
5. Neil Patrick Harris

From Doogie Howser, M.D. to How I Met Your Mother, the actor has never had trouble cooking up something. But at home, he credits many of his divine dishes on Instagram to husband (and professional chef) David Burtka, when he’s not treating himself to delishness out on the town. Apparently, Burtka can make anything from coffee-rubbed lamb chops to one of the most insane Thanksgiving crudités spreads ever, all to the comedian’s high praise. Plus, he celebrates meals out like works of art.
6. Lauren Conrad

All in favor of high-quality meals and colorful cocktails, the media personality who got her start on the reality shows Laguna Beach and The Hills (and since conquered the fashion world as well as the New York Times’ bestsellers’ list) can’t get enough of the tastiest eats and drinks. Between dish recommendations and foodie gift suggestions, she’s not shy about her cultivated love affair with fresh ingredients and fine taste. It’s the basis of the good life, really.

The singer-songwriter, eternally known for her hit “Milkshake,” didn’t name one of her albums Food with song titles like “Breakfast,” “Jerk Ribs,” “Cobbler,” Friday Fish Fry,” and “Biscuits n’ Gravy” as a lark. The certified chef adores the craft of the kitchen in any medium. Last year, she launched a SXSW food truck and a Cooking Channel series called Saucy and Sweet. This year, she wrote her first cookbook called My Life on a Plate, which she considers “an exploration of tastes and cultures.”
