Gigi Hadid just delivered the boyfriend support masterclass—and it involves cheesesteaks. Yes, you read that right. The 29-year-old model recently swung by Danny & Coop’s Cheesesteaks, the latest venture by her boo, 49-year-old actor-slash-cheesesteak-enthusiast Bradley Cooper. This isn’t your average Hollywood power couple flex; this is cheesesteak-level love.
On Friday, December 20, Gigi hit up the newly opened cheesesteak haven in NYC to not only grab a bite but to also become its unofficial PR manager. She took to her Instagram Stories to announce the “soft opening,” writing, “Sat/Sun open @ noon…til daily ingredients last!”—translation: run, don’t walk, if you want to snag one of these cheesy delights. Gigi even added the location (151 Avenue A, NYC) because she knows exactly how to direct her fans to the goods.
And because she’s Gigi Hadid, she threw in a casual “Do yourself a favor…!” as if she wasn’t already doing the world a favor by sharing this crucial information. Move over, Michelin Guide, there’s a new food critic in town.
For a little backstory (in case you’re wondering how we got from A Star Is Born to A Cheesesteak Is Made), Bradley launched Danny & Coop’s as a food truck last December. The guy wasn’t just slapping his name on it either; he was literally slinging cheesesteaks alongside restauranteur Danny DiGiampietro. Somewhere between the Oscar buzz and frying onions, Bradley found his true calling.
The OG food truck even had a red-carpet moment of its own, with none other than Gigi and Bradley’s ex, Irina Shayk, showing up to support. Yes, you heard it: Gigi and Irina, in the same cheesesteak line, proving that love for cheesesteaks transcends all relationship drama.
Gigi Hadid, supermodel, social media savant, and cheesesteak evangelist. If you’re in NYC this weekend, you know where to be. And if you’re not? Well, better start planning your pilgrimage to the Holy Grail of Cheesesteaks.
