The Unexpected Food Drew Barrymore (51) Craves Constantly
She has a cookbook, a line of kitchen appliances, and a reputation as an enthusiastic home cook who genuinely cares about what goes on her plate. So the food Drew Barrymore has devoted her entire life to will genuinely surprise you.
The Fanny Pack Moment That Went Everywhere
It is macaroni and cheese. Boxed Kraft macaroni and cheese, specifically. And she does not just eat it. She carries it on her body.
On her talk show, Barrymore showed off the yellow fanny pack she wears around her house and emptied its contents for the audience. Inside, alongside her lip balm and a tape measure, sat a small container of macaroni and cheese and a plastic fork.
Food Network star Sunny Anderson, who was sitting right there, looked completely stunned. Her longtime co-host Ross Mathews barely batted an eye.
How Deep This Actually Goes
The fanny pack was not a bit. It was the latest chapter in a very long love story between a woman and a box of pasta. Barrymore has eaten mac and cheese from a glass purse, featured it across multiple cooking segments, and received an “emotional support mac and cheese” stuffed animal from comedian Rachel Dratch as a birthday gift.
In 2023, she went fully all in. She posed in a bathtub filled with Kraft Deluxe mac and cheese for the cover of her own magazine DREW, saying she was living her dream.
What She Told Her Own Magazine
Barrymore has explained this obsession in her own words. She told the magazine that it has “carried me through my entire life,” adding that she has never outgrown her love for it and that it might have actually grown with each passing year.
Her preferred way to eat it is with massive amounts of cracked black pepper on top. Not the powdery kind. The crack-your-teeth-open kind.
The Pickle Love Running Alongside It
Macaroni and cheese has company in Barrymore’s late-night snacking world. She told Yahoo Life she regularly hunches over her kitchen counter eating pickles straight from the jar, wishing she had a slice of cheese pizza alongside them.
Her pickle brand of choice is Millport Dairy, a small family-run operation out of Pennsylvania that she has actively promoted to her followers.
In the end, Drew Barrymore is a walking reminder that even the most cookbook-writing, appliance-launching, breakfast-salad-eating among us are just one box of Kraft Deluxe away from complete and total happiness.
