Martha Stewart, 83, left Kelly Clarkson and chef José Andrés stunned during a recent Kelly Clarkson Show appearance when she admitted she’s never ordered takeout. The trio chatted about their time filming Yes, Chef! in Toronto, where Stewart and Andrés, 55, indulged in the city’s vibrant dining scene nightly.
A Lifetime of Home-Cooked Standards
Stewart, a culinary legend, revealed her aversion to delivery after Clarkson joked about post-work exhaustion leading to fast-food cravings. “Do you want to know a secret? I’ve never ordered takeout in my life,” Stewart declared, prompting gasps.
Clarkson quipped, “You’ve never had a Taco Bell night?!” while Andrés playfully demanded proof, urging viewers: “If you have a photo of Martha ordering delivery, we demand an investigation!”
Stewart stood firm, citing her daughter Alexis, 59, as a witness to her lifelong habit of cooking at home. Clarkson, amused, replied, “You’re so pure—don’t worry, I’ve ordered enough for both of us!”
Fine Dining Over Fast Food
During filming, Stewart and Andrés prioritized exploring Toronto’s top restaurants despite grueling 12-hour workdays. “You’re in a cosmopolitan city—you have to try the best they offer,” Stewart insisted. Andrés added to PEOPLE in March that their off-camera bond grew over shared meals: “We cook together, eat together… until they kick us out!”
About Yes, Chef!
Premiering April 28 on NBC, the competition series pits 12 chefs against each other for a $250,000 prize. Stewart and Andrés serve as mentors, blending their expertise with witty camaraderie—and, apparently, zero takeout breaks.
