Meet Jonathan Cheban, or as he prefers to be called, FoodGod (formerly known as a close pal of Kim K). This guy is so head over heels for food that he probably dreams in flavors. In an exclusive chitchat with DailyMail.com, the culinary connoisseur spilled the beans, or should we say, turkey stuffing, on his Thanksgiving escapades.
With the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store, Cheban declared, ‘Thanksgiving is basically my Super Bowl of overindulgence.’ Move over, sports fans, we’ve got a new MVP in town, and his game is strong when it comes to stuffing his face.
Picture this: a turkey taking a dip in hot oil, not for a spa day, but for a Peking duck-style makeover. Cheban, the trendspotter extraordinaire, spilled the soy sauce on this new culinary craze. “It’s like the turkey went on a vacation to Beijing and came back with a whole new attitude – crispy and full of Peking pizzazz!”
Cheban’s not just satisfied with a turkey globetrotting; he’s got the inside scoop on stuffing innovation. “I’ve seen stuffing fancier than a red carpet event. Truffles and gold are the A-listers of the stuffing world, bringing that extra oomph to the Thanksgiving table. It’s stuffing fit for a Hollywood feast.”
In the midst of all this foodie talk, Cheban casually dropped a bombshell: move over Hollywood, he’s now the fast-food mogul behind Dirty Bird. Because why stop at a Michelin-starred Thanksgiving when you can also have a greasy, guilty pleasure? “This year, I’m not just basting turkeys, I’m basting my business empire,” Cheban exclaimed, wearing a chef’s hat and a grin that says, ‘I’m the FoodGod, after all.”
And if you thought that was the cherry on top of the sundae, hold your dessert spoons. Cheban revealed he’s also scooping into the ice cream business with Cold Case. Because clearly, he’s not satisfied unless he’s conquering both the savory and sweet realms. “TV was so last season; this year is all about serving up burgers and scoops,” he declared, probably while flipping a burger and holding an ice cream cone in each hand.
Let’s not forget the origin story of this food fanatic. Cheban and Kim K’s friendship is the stuff of legends, a bond forged over 15 years ago when he was a publicist and she was just a reality TV starlet. Who would have thought that a friendship rooted in fame and PR would blossom into a love affair with all things edible?
The FoodGod, the Peking turkey trendsetter, the fast-food tycoon, and the ice cream czar. Move over, Thanksgiving; Cheban’s in town, and he’s turning the feast into a flavor-packed extravaganza. Bon appétit, FoodGod style!
