Tucker Carlson Says He Can’t Dine Out Because Everyone Wants to Yell at Him

Tears for Tucker at the table

Fox News host and seemingly sane conservative voice-turned-far right zealot Tucker Carlson enjoys ranting and raving about the libs from the safety of his studio set. But, should said libs decide to return the favor when he’s out in public, Carlson does not have the necessary thick skin to handle the heat. Speaking on the National Review podcast, the TV screamer said he can’t go out to eat during these turbulent times, per the Hollywood Reporter.

“I can’t really go to a lot of restaurants anymore because I get yelled at,” Carlson says. “I don’t feel threatened, but having someone scream, ‘Fuck you!’ at a restaurant, it just wrecks your meal.” If all else fails, he can probably dine in peace with Donald Trump Jr. at Salt Bae’s restaurant.

Ina Garten reveals her greatest kitchen vice: Taylor Swift

Cookbook author, television star, former nuclear budget analyst, and all-around fabulous domestic goddess Ina Garten is not a fan of drinking while cooking. It’s not that Garten is a teetotaler — quite the opposite. “I’m a terrible drunk,” she said at a Central Park Conservancy’s Women’s Committee lunch on Monday, according to Page Six. Garten does, however, succumb to a different vice while working in the kitchen. She can’t stop blasting ear worms by Taylor Swift, the pop superstar who just might save the Democratic Party.

“Trust me; the people who work with me are really sick of it,” Garten said. Sounds like it may be time for an intervention.

Frasier and John Legend have exactly one thing in common

John Legend is a brilliant musician, and he seems to be a wonderful husband and father, but he has a terrible secret: He eats salad, which is most certainly not a breakfast food, for breakfast. Legend revealed this surprising detail about his diet in an interview with GQ. Though, to be fair, he is incorporating more traditional breakfast foods, such as eggs and toast, into his morning meals, as well, which means he starts his day with nourishment that one Frasier Crane would surely appreciate.
