- Hi, my name is Nina Dobrev.
- I'm Andrew Zimmern.
- I'm Chris Bosh.
- I'm Martha Stewart.
- I'm John Scherer, aka, Mythical Chef Josh.
- Kwame Onwuachi.
- Garbine Muguruza.
- Catherine Zeta-Jones.
- Carla Lalli Music.
- I'm Awkwafina, and this is everything I eat in a day.
- The first thing I do when I wake up every morning
is pretty unsexy.
I have to take a pill.
So I always make sure that I take the pill
the second I wake up, and the first 30 minutes of my day,
I do the getting dressed, showering, brushing my teeth
so that 30 minutes go by and then I could eat breakfast.
- I'm not a big breakfast person.
I don't wake up and think,
oh, I've got to eat straight away.
And I also,
I'm not a coffee person.
I don't even like coffee.
I don't like the way it tastes.
I don't even like the way it smells.
- I don't like dessert for breakfast,
so I'm not really into French toast and pancakes
and all that kind of thing.
This morning for breakfast,
I had two slices of brisket with a little bit of gravy
on a piece of sourdough toast.
- I have an 18-minute routine.
It takes me exactly 18 minutes
from when I wake up to get out the door.
I immediately hop in the shower.
I'm probably washing my entire body
with Garnier Fructis shampoo on my loofah.
'Cause I don't know.
I'm that stereotypical person.
- So first of all, my egg's gotta be over easy,
little runny.
Yes.
Salt, pepper, period.
And then my potatoes.
Okay, I'm gonna tell everybody my secret ingredient.
So I use sazon. I use sazon on everything, okay.
- But there is few days of the year where I can,
you know, allow myself to eat
everything that I don't eat during the year.
And then I would have some pancakes
or French bakery that I love.
But that's few days of the year only.
- There is no typical lunch for me.
It could be anything from sushi to a cheeseburger.
Chicken breast and vegetables with some starch.
You know, it's whatever I crave, really, is what I eat.
- The craziest part about lunch for me
is that it can be anything at any time.
And some days, I don't even know till I actually get there.
I'll pretty much try to snack on whatever I've made,
but sometimes those things
aren't exactly something you can sit down for.
For instance, when I made candy canes around the holidays.
Other times, though, it's just this big, giant burger
that I can sit down and eat after I finish filming.
- I'm kind of a sandwich junkie,
so I'll take a sandwich from anywhere.
That includes both hot dogs and hamburgers.
They are both sandwiches.
The Italian grinder from the local deli,
the fried chicken sandwich
from the Fried Chicken Palace down the street.
- There are a lot of people that are like,
"I ate a yogurt for lunch."
And it's like, what, you want an award?
You think you're awesome?
I'm not one of those people that it's like,
you eat spaghettis and meatballs at 3:00 AM?
I'll eat spaghetti and meatballs at 9:00 AM, dude.
- Oh, my God, the Swedish meatballs.
- Keto Swedish meatballs.
- Funny story about the Swedish meatballs.
The gravy that came in them,
I thought it was mashed potatoes,
and I was just eating the gravy,
just like as a regular meal.
- I'm not a big snacker, except for anything chocolate.
For me, chocolate is a real treat.
I deserve it.
- So whenever I know someone is going over to
the UK or Europe, I'm like,
"Please pick up some Peanut M&M's from duty free."
I had a bag that was given to me, like a two-pound bag.
And when I have the M&M's,
I'll just reach in and I get like three or four
and I just had the last one yesterday.
(groans)
I'm squeezing the bag.
I'm like, oh!
There was one M&M hanging out in the corner.
- So this is Lil' Nitro,
the world's hottest gummy bear.
- Are you not scared?
- You don't know who I am, or something?
(laughing)
- World's hottest gummy bear.
Oh, no.
(coughing)
(laughs) Don't touch your eyes.
(laughing)
- I may snack on popcorn. (laughs)
I love popcorn.
- My favorite snack is popcorn.
And my really favorite way to have it is alone.
I don't love to share my popcorn.
- It's a routine.
It's a way of life.
So you toast the brown bread,
take it out, let it cool down,
and then take Marmite
and slather it on so there's loads of Marmite on there,
and like all the way to the edges,
and then big chunks of cheese on top.
And then I grill that till it's toasty,
and then take that out,
and while it's bubbling,
just allow it to cool just enough
so you don't burn your mouth.
Always cut it into triangles.
I'm not into the whole straight down the middle.
That's weird.
Triangle.
And then always a pickled onion.
(exhales) So good.
There's no green in there at all.
- I like strange snacks.
- It's meat.
(laughs) It is a bag of meat!
- No, it's filet mignon chips.
I order strange, exotic snacks from different countries
from this man in Arizona.
His name is Pop's Exotic.
He has every rare snack you can think of.
If he doesn't have it, you can ask him for it,
and he'll find it for you.
That really tastes like steak.
- It tastes like a lot like steak.
- How did they do that?
- In terms of getting hungry or hangry, I don't.
- Yes, I am someone that gets hangry.
I believe we all get a little hangry sometimes.
Talk to your friend about being hangry.
- I actually don't get hangry.
I think I actually get full-gry.
Like, if I eat a ton on set,
especially a bunch of greasy food, and I'm just like,
got a belly full of like processed meats and fried food,
I get kind of like angry when I'm asked to do things.
So no, I don't get hangry.
I get full-gry.
- I'm not too hangry 'cause I'm like reasonable.
I'll stop at 7-Eleven and go get me like,
I'll eat anything.
Like, I'll eat the torquita from 7-Eleven
and put hot sauce on it
and my stomach will be good for next couple hours.
- Dinner, that's the meal where, absolutely no yogurt.
You know what I mean?
Like, you can't have a yogurt for dinner.
My dinners, they're humongous.
- I have a couple of go-to's,
but I love, love, love trying new recipes.
I'll crack open a cookbook
and one of my favorites is Chrissy Teigen's cookbook.
I'll just close my eyes and flip the pages
and then just stop at one page, and whatever it says,
I'll go out and grab the ingredients
and try to make whatever it is
and destroy my kitchen in the process.
- My favorite, favorite dinner dish
that I can eat it every day is my papaya salad
with warm chili noodles.
Sometime, I add some shrimp in there.
Lots of vegetable, lettuce on the side.
I can live with that every day.
- My favorite meal to cook
would be anything you throw in the barbecue.
In the grill, everything tastes good, no matter what.
You can throw fish, veggies, chicken, meat, burgers.
You're safe.
Like, you can't go wrong, and it's easy on top of that,
so I'm a barbecue master.
- The other night, I grilled like a three,
three-and-a-half-pound fish.
And in one bowl, I had roasted red peppers
that I charred in the fireplace.
- A few simple dinner ideas
that I make with the kids all the time
are classic things like a big whole roast chicken.
I have this recipe I got from a friend
that is sort of a Greek-style roast chicken.
It's a whole chicken.
- Take a whole stick of unsalted butter,
the best butter like Plugra or Kerrygold.
Nice, nice butter.
But it has to be room temperature.
And you slather it all over the skin of the chicken.
- That's like a Costco chicken, right?
The entire chicken, right?
And then you put that
with all kinds of Annie's mac and cheese and all kinds,
I'll eat all kinds of things for dinner.
- Then right before your guests arrive, one hour before,
you put that butter-slathered chicken
into a 425-degree oven for one hour.
It was the most delicious chicken.
- Okay, let me tell you about the air fryer.
I've had an air fryer for two years.
During the pandemic, when we had to keep cooking,
I'm like, "I know we have an air fryer."
We go up to the attic and dust off this box
that had been there for two years.
It's like finding religion.
You become a disciple of the air fryer.
So you want to get everybody into the air fryer game.
Even though an air fryer is a glorified toaster oven,
but then when you get a toaster oven, it is not the same.
I should do an air fryer commercial.
- I'm not really a dessert person, honestly.
It's just ice cream, if anything, just a scoop of ice cream.
Jeni's Ice Cream.
Jeni's is it for me for ice cream.
It's just solid.
It's just, it's so creamy.
I love the brambleberry crisp.
They have this everything bagel ice cream flavor
that is surprisingly delicious.
I have like six flavors downstairs right now in my freezer.
- I will take four pints of ice cream
and I'll pop them all in the microwave
for a couple seconds to loosen them up,
and then I will take a spoon
and I will eat like two bites of each
and then revisit my favorite one
and then make sure that's my last bite,
and then put that back in the freezer.
And that's my favorite thing to do.
- If I am to eat dessert,
cheesecake or ice cream is probably my preference.
If you wanna make me feel like a kid again,
you could even throw me a ice cream cake
and I really might go crazy on it.
- Just the other day,
I baked two big Sally Lunn babka bread.
A slice of that is light and fluffy.
It's delicious slightly toasted,
and it makes the best, the best breakfast bread pudding.
- Ice cream is just across the board.
I'm just a huge ice cream lover.
And of course, how could I forget my mother's apple pie,
the only other great thing she can cook.
Coupled with a little scoop of ice cream,
and I'm a really, really happy woman.
Some people say,
do you live to eat or do you eat to live?
I'm somewhere in between.
That's everything I eat in a day.
Enjoy.
