8 Things We Learned From Chrissy Teigen's New Cravings Website: Her Dream Job, Luna’s Favorite Foods and More

Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings website is finally here! After months of cute teases and fun sneak peeks, the star officially launched her “Cravings baby,” as she calls it, on Monday, November 4. Minutes after the site debuted, however, it crashed because so many internet users were trying to access it at once. If anything, the technical difficulties were proof that the world wants more of Teigen, 33. As she mused on Twitter while the site was down: “Part of me is very excited by the crashing but [we] are getting this fixed now lol.” Everything was back up and running by Monday afternoon, which meant Us Weekly could peruse the new online destination and learn more fun facts about the Bring the Funny judge, who is known for being refreshingly transparent and honest about life in the spotlight. [ami-related id="1323388" url="https://www.usmagazine.com/food/pictures/chrissy-teigens-funniest-food-tweets/" title="Chrissy Teigen's Funniest Food Tweets" target="" showsubt="false" thumb="false" imgsrc="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/chrissy-teigen-best-food-tweets.jpg"] In the site’s question-and-answer section, for example, Teigen revealed she’s open to attending a fan’s wedding with her husband, John Legend, but she does have a few ground rules. “We tend to avoid weddings because there always ‘just happens’ to be a piano there after John confirms his attendance,” she wrote in her reply to a fan who extended an invitation to her upcoming nuptials. While the Utah native noted that the “All of Me” singer “loves” to play for friends and family, tickling the ivories at a stranger’s wedding is a different story. Still, she promised to show up if the bride assured her she and Legend could “literally just drink and dance.” [jwplayer ToM0GjhQ-l3ahXupL] When Us spoke to Teigen about her site in March, she was particularly excited by the idea of fielding queries from fans. “There’s gonna be this awesome question [section] where people can ask me things straight from the website or they can tweet them at me and we’ll keep them all in a file, whether it’s questions about cooking, relationships or kids,” she explained at the time. “I don’t care what it is, I’ll answer anything.” In addition to opening up more about herself, Teigen has also used the site to share more about Legend, 40, and the couple’s children — Luna, 3, and Miles, 17 months.

It's About So Much More Than Food

Teigen has made a name for herself as a lover of food (who also happens to be a darn good cook), but the Cravings website includes a whole lot more than tips on how to cook and where to eat. As the star states in the Cravings welcome video, she wants this site to be “a place where you can see everything that is our family.” In that vein, the site includes additional videos from the clan’s trips around the world, clips explaining family traditions and recipes and more. “We wanted to share everything in one little spot for you guys,” the Target cookware creator concluded in her welcome remarks.

Chrissy Is Game to Attend Your Wedding ... But There Are Rules

When a fan named Lillian asked Teigen to attend her wedding in June 2020, she agreed, but with one big caveat. According to the Lip Sync Battle cohost, her hubby is frequently asked to perform at weddings he goes to, so she agreed to guarantee the pair’s attendance so long as Lillian promised they can “literally just drink and dance.”

Teigen concluded: “If so, we’re in!!” and her willingness to celebrate with strangers caught the attention of her social media followers. “Now I want to get married just so just so @chrissyteigen and @johnlegend can attend… as guests and only guests,” mused one Twitter user.

Luna Loves Spicy Food, But Miles Is Wary

When a fan asked Teigen when she first introduced her kiddos to spicy foods, she revealed a bit about her little one’s palates, as well as her own. “When I was pregnant, I ate the hottest foods imaginable,” she replied, and it seems like her flavor preferences have rubbed off on at least one of her kids. “Luna is 3 now and she can handle things spicier than most kids, especially if it’s a soup broth or something,” Teigen added. Miles, on the other hand, is “a little more on the sensitive side when it comes to traveling to flavortown,” according to his mom. “I don’t think I’ll ever pressure them into eating spicy foods, although it would make me a little more than proud if they had a passion for it one day as big as mine,” she noted.

Chrissy Is Kind of a Klutz

Teigen isn’t shy about sharing her food fails, which apparently extend beyond overbaking a pie and cooking a sub-par beef Wellington. In a video of herself baking strawberry shortcake, the cookbook author accidentally drops a bowl of sugar on her countertop, causing it to shatter into several pieces. If her belly laugh after the bowl accident is any indication, Teigen is more than game to have a chuckle at her own expense!

Chrissy Once Told Robert De Niro That Nobu Was Overrated ... Before Realizing He Founded It

In her Los Angeles restaurant guide, which includes over a dozen of her favorite L.A. haunts, Teigen revealed that she once embarrassed herself in front of the Joker star. Though Nobu Malibu (which De Niro is part owner of) made the cut, Teigen admitted she once ran into the legendary actor and told him she thought the trendy eatery was “a little overrated” before realizing his connection to the upscale chain. “I also told him movies are stupid,” she quipped, before stating that the Nobu outpost in Malibu (also a favorite of the Kardashian-Jenner clan) is “actually very good.”

It's Not Uncommon to Find This Taco Truck at the Legend-Teigen House

Teigen was one of the early celeb pioneers of summoning food trucks to her house, and one of her favorites is the Tacos Y Birria La Unica truck. According to the star, the food-filled vehicle has been to her home “so many times.” In fact, Teigen is so fond of the truck’s frequent house calls that she almost didn’t want to include it in her Los Angeles restaurant guide. As she put it: “I’m a little scared to put this place on here, since they’ll get even busier, and then never be avail to come to my house, but I love you guys and them so please go enjoy their food as much as I have.”

Chrissy Wants a Job at Milk Bar

Despite confessing that she “hates” baking, Teigen is a massive fan of Milk Bar. The dessert chain founded by Christina Tosi is one of Teigen’s L.A. favorites. “They use ingredients so familiar from our childhood, but in creative ways – it’s the perfect mix of old and new, and I think that’s why even I (a more savory-than-sweets person) enjoy it,” she explained. Teigen is such a fan of Milk Bar and its selection of “addictingly delicious” treats that she offered herself up for a job. “Milk Bar, please let me know if you need taste testers – I will work for free,” she declared.

John Often Surprises Chrissy With Food

Teigen has often talked about Legend’s own culinary skills (he cooked for her every day during her pregnancies), and, as it turns out, the Grammy winner loves to delight his wife with food. In a video from the family’s trip to Italy in June 2019, Legend works with “Chef Luca” in Tuscany to whip up an Italian meal for Teigen. “I’m going to make a very special treat for my wife,” the Oscar winner states in the clip. “We’re going to make fried meatballs.” Despite a language barrier, Legend and Luca managed to make a “fantastico” meal.
