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.”
Megan Markle: Cheeseburger and Fries from In-N-Out
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.”
Padma Lakshmi: Cheeseburger and Fries from In-N-Out
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.

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.

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.”

So I just stack them, jump in the backseat, and eat them.”
