Kim Kardashian’s former chef is spilling the tea on the reality star’s most unexpected cheat meals, and let’s just say, it’s not what you’d expect from a fitness mogul.
Jesse Henderson, who cooked up a storm for the Kardashian clan from 2021 to 2022, has dished out some juicy details about Kim’s indulgent food choices. Forget kale salads and quinoa—Kim’s guilty pleasures are apparently a far cry from the health food aisle.
Henderson, who previously wowed fans on The Kardashians, was responsible for preparing everything from Kylie Jenner’s elaborate Nightmare On Elm Street-themed dinner to everyday meals for the Kardashian-Jenner crew. His culinary journey even took him to the Dominican Republic, where he had the responsibility of cooking for Kim as her personal chef.
Kim’s Ex-Chef Reveals Her Favorite Comfort Food
In an exclusive chat with Daily Mail, Jesse spilled the beans on Kim’s surprising food habits. Despite her penchant for flaunting her flawless figure in micro bikinis, Kim’s cheat meals are all about carbs and comfort.
“Chicken tenders and fries” and “pasta with no sauce” are her top choices—talk about indulging in some serious comfort food!
Jesse recounted a moment in the Caribbean when Kim pulled him aside to get real about her cravings. “At the time, Kim said to me, ‘Everyone is probably telling you quinoa this and veggie that, but I just want to be honest with you, I want chicken tenders and pasta with no sauce,’” he revealed.
It seems Kim’s cravings are a delicious contradiction to her public image of health and fitness. Kim’s relatable approach to food extended to her kitchen preferences, which were stocked with all the guilty pleasures you’d expect.
“She is very down to earth, and she was very direct about what her cravings were,” Jesse noted. It turns out, despite the glitz and glam of Kardashian life, Kim has a taste for the same comfort foods many of us crave.
Kim Allegedly Spends Thousands On Dinners
When it came to keeping Kim’s kitchen stocked, Jesse shared that she always needed “pretty relatable stuff”—pasta, fries, chicken tenders, and burgers. He added that he earned between $2,000 and $5,000 per casual dinner, with themed events bringing in a hefty $15,000 to $25,000. That’s a serious payout for serving up comfort food!
Working for the Kardashians isn’t just about cooking; it’s an experience that blends high expectations with a dash of drama. Rumor has it that working for Kim and her family can be intense. From extravagant themed parties to last-minute menu changes, the demands can be high. But for those who make it into Kim’s kitchen, the payoff can be both financially rewarding and personally satisfying.
Jesse wasn’t just about cooking; he rolled up his sleeves and did it all, from washing dishes to preparing meals. “I am the kind of chef that does everything. I am not someone who shows up and is like, ‘I’m not doing dishes.’ I did pretty much everything,” he explained.
Despite his departure, Jesse and Kim remain on good terms, with Kim’s team frequently reaching out to invite him back to California for her culinary needs.
Kim’s food preferences might be a far cry from her polished public image, but they remind us that behind the glam and the glitz, she’s just like the rest of us—indulging in the occasional chicken tenders and fries. As Kim continues to balance her public persona with her private cravings, one thing remains clear: even a reality TV queen can’t resist the allure of comfort food.
