They Eat Just Like Us

Who doesn't love hitting a drive-thru? Not celebrities, who enjoy fast food just like the rest of us. Here are some fast-food places where you might find them, scarfing down a burger or taco (though probably outside in their car).

Ice Cube: King Burger from Fatburger

The California rapper is loyal to one fast-food place in the state. "The ultimate burger in California is the Fatburger," he told First We Feast. How much does he like the food at Fatburger? He mentioned them in his 1992 song "It Was A Good Day." And his order? "I would have a King Burger, you know what I'm saying? Mayo. A little mustard. I would put an egg on there, you know what I mean? And probably top it with some chili."

Jason Sudekis: Soft Tacos from Taco Bell

While his alter ego Ted Lasso prefers coffee to tea, Jason Sudekis is a fan of Taco Bell. He told Harper's Bazaar, "I genuinely love Taco Bell." He prefers the one in his hometown if Overland Park, Kansas to what he's found elsewhere, saying, "I don't know how they do it different. The soft shells are always soft. Sometimes a few of the Taco Bells I've had in Manhattan [are] not great... I've always loved it since I was a kid. I used to be able to eat ten tacos in a sitting, and now if I do three I'm showing off."

The Duchess of Sussex has, according to her husband Prince Harry, a favorite order from In-N-Out. "Meg gets the cheeseburger and fries with sides of jalapenos," he tells People magazine. Megan likes to stop on the drive to L.A. from Montecito. "There's one at the halfway point between L.A. and our neck of the woods," she tells Variety. "It's really fun to go through the drive-thru and surprise them. They know our order."

Katy Perry: Crunch Wrap Supreme from Taco Bell

The "Roar" singer occasionally can't resist the Bell. After a photo shoot for a Forbes cover, she took to Instagram to state, "Don't think that I didn't celebrate this moment by going straight to Taco Bell and getting my crunch wrap supreme."

The former "Top Chef" host posted a TikTok about getting in line at In-N-Out before 11 a.m. to get her burger fix. That's dedication. She got some fries, too.

Heidi Klum: Big Mac from McDonald's

She may be a model and a judge on "America's Got Talent," but that doesn't mean she doesn't get fast-food cravings. She Instagrammed a Big Mac on her bed, and we can only assume she ate it later.

Anthony Bourdain: Burger from In-N-Out

The late chef and television host Anthony Bourdain loved In-N-Out Burger — and, no surprise, explained why. “Bun selection [is] very important,” Bourdin said to Eater. “This cheese-like substance is just perfect. Notice, it’s two thin patties together. Maximum surface area ... It’s brilliant.”

Travis Kelce: Whopper at Burger King

Taylor Swift's boyfriend (who happens to play football or something) digs the home of the Whopper. "I think Burger King's got the best fast-food burgers," he said on the New Heights podcast. He does think Wendy's and In-N-Out are good, too. And he does have it his way, ordering his Whoppers without mayo or onions.

Prince Harry: Two Double-Doubles and Fries from In-N-Out

While he might be British royalty, his palate is all-American. "In-N-Out is the best!" he tells People magazine. "I order two double-doubles, animal style, fries and a Coke. And that's just for me." He's also good with ketchup and "that special sauce of theirs."

Adele: Chicken Nuggets, Big Mac and Fries from McDonald's

The now-slim singer still has an appetite for junk food. "My ideal meal, my death row meal, my last meal would be a McChicken Nugget with a Big Mac, and then fries," she tells British Vogue. "That's my three course. I eat it at least once a week."

Jennifer Lawrence: Happy Meal from McDonald's

Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence isn't above grabbing some McDonald's on the way to the awards ceremony. After telling her publicist to get her a Happy Meal, she said to a reporter from MTV News, "Hang on, I didn't say fries. I'm seeing you talk, and all I'm thinking about is me pissed that I didn't get fries. You have to remind them of ketchup because they never include ketchup. You have to ask for it."

Chrissy Teigen: Cinnamon Bun from Cinnabon

The wife of John Legend known for being the author of three cookbooks and the host of TV shows like "Lip Sync Battle" can whip up goodies at home but isn't above a few store-bought goodies. Responding to a tweet by actress Gabrielle Union about her craving for cinnamon buns, Teigen replied she'd send her some for Christmas — but if she didn't want to wait, "Postmates delivers Cinnabon. (I’ve done this 3 times, great in microwave, ask for extra icing)."

Paris Hilton: Hamburger and Oreo McFlurry from McDonald's

While it's unclear if this is Paris Hilton's favorite order, she definitely did order it on her Peacock TV series Paris in Love. Stressing out over her upcoming wedding, she convinced her little brother Barron to hit the McDonald's drive-thru with her. She also ordered a 4-A, which appears to be a crispy chicken sandwich.

Runner Usain Bolt wrote in his autobiography “Faster Than Lightning” that he ate 100 McNuggets per day over the 10 days he was at the Olympics in Beijing. Amazingly, he won three gold medals despite his junk-food consumption.

Anna Kendrick: Doritos Locos Taco from Taco Bell

The "Pitch Perfect" star admitted Taco Bell is "a dirty thing" on Conan, but that she loves Taco Bell "so much." "I cannot eat Taco Bell before midnight. I drive out of my way to go to the one with a drive-thru so I don't have to go inside and then I'll just eat it in the parking lot in my car," she admitted. She also revealed a recent order in 2017, writing, "Just tried Taco Bell's Doritos taco. I can see why these sold 100 million already. This is no joke."

Shaquille O'Neal: Doughnuts from Krispy Kreme

NBA great Shaquille O'Neal loved Krispy Kreme so much he bought a landmark Atlanta Krispy Kreme and lent his starpower to the company as a spokesman. Unfortunately the building caught fire in what was later ruled an arson. Another fast-food franchise he liked enough to buy into? Papa Johns. He owns nine in the Atlanta area, but has decided not to remain on the board

Kanye West: Caramel Frappe, Chicken Tasty, Fries, Chocolate Milkshake from McDonald's

It turns out Kanye West isn't averse to hitting McDonald's in-store (at least in Sweden). During a trip there he ordered a large caramel Frappé, one Chicken Tasty (a sandwich exclusive to Europe), one medium fries, one large chocolate milkshake, one three-pack of hot wings, and six barbecue dipping sauces. Apparently he was really hungry.

Gordon Ramsey: Double Double from In-N-Out Burger

The “Kitchen Nightmares” and “Hell’s Kitchen” chef doesn't just eat beef Wellington — he's also a fan of In-N-Out Burger. “Once I’ve trained and ... I’ve come off a big swim or cycle for four or five hours, I will literally go to a drive-thru In-N-Out,” Ramsey told LiveSigning. “I’ll wind the window down and ask for a Double Double Animal Style and they recognize me and give me lots of extras. So I just stack them, jump in the backseat, and eat them.”
