Chefs Favorite Junk Foods

[David Ross]

I once saw a television interview with Julia Child where she admitted to a fondness for Cheetos Cheese Puffs. I'm sure it raised some eyebrows from the food elite who probably felt it sacrilegious that a noted French Cookbook Author would gorge on commercial cheese puffs. Personally, I don't think one's personal indulgences frame who they are as a cook or Chef.

Have you heard of other Chefs who have a guilty pleasure for junk food? Would Thomas Keller even eat a Dorito?

I'm obviously not at the level being discussed here but cooking's what I do for a living so I'll confess (and suffer the abuse that it brings my way) that I've been caught more than once with a microwaved frozen burrito in my hand.

Julia had been quoted in several interviews professing a love of MacDonald's Quarter Pounders.

One of my good friends who currently owns a seafood joint in the Carolinas but has cooked serious fine dining in the past LOVES pizza rolls.

He's not a famous fancy chef, but the chef-owner of my favorite Ethiopian restaurant loves the curly fries from Arby's.
