Jonathan Cheban Wants to Be the Next Guy Fieri

Well, he's already got the douche part down pat! Jonathan Cheban, Kardashian hanger-on, was recently profiled by GQ. Here are some of the highlights:

On his aspirations:
“I definitely want to be like a Guy Fieri or Anthony Bourdain for the young and hot. That would be amaaazing...I’m a food environmentalist. I’m about the food and the ambiance.”

On how he makes menu selections:
“This is what I do. I need to read it and then smell out what’s going to be amazing. It’s a talent. Like I can look at the menu and just look at the ingredients and be like, This will end up being amazing.” 

On rock shrimp:
“Rock shrimp is so generic. Anyone I go to Nobu with who gets rock shrimp, I freak out on them. Every novice is like, Can I have the rock shrimp? Then I’m always like, Don’t order rock shrimp with me. It’s such a bad look on the table. It cheapens me. I’m embarrassed about it. That’s the stuff I ordered for the first 10 years eating at Nobu."

On desserts:
“I don’t eat much of them. I wouldn’t be the FoodGod if i was fat.” (his Snapchat handle is @FoodGod).

The whole interview is worth a read; the interviewer trolls him in the entire article. Read it at GQ.
