Chicken Pot Pie Is Fashion's Favorite Food

This week's New York Times Style section takes a look at fashion's favorite food -- no, it's not rice cakes or bottled water -- chicken potpie. The industry's appetite for the dish apparently came about during the recession in 2007 and it's been a staple on menus since, popping up at fashion shows and the MTV Movie Awards alike.

Even Anna Wintour, who is reportedly a difficult dinner date (imagine that!), enjoys a good potpie. Her private chef Hank Tomashevski told the Times, it's her fave "because it's quick to serve and moves things right along."

Okay, okay -- now that our stomachs are grumbling and our minds straying into lunchtime land, can someone please tell us who in the biz actually cleans the plate of such a starchy meal?

Cue Coco Rocha, who once blogged: "We were treated to what we all agreed was probably the best chicken potpie anyone had ever tasted. Of course, none of the fashion people at the table dared to be the one to finish the whole thing." Just as suspected.

Read the rest at the Times.

An old SNL skit had a line where the host said she'd seen a model have a scallop and a tic tac for dinner.
Probably not too far off track.

Are only those sitting at the top table permitted to wear their sunglasses indoors?

While I love Wintour and Lagerfeld as personalities, that pic is everything that is wrong with the industry itself. Could we get Prabal at the table? Please? How cutting edge can you be at 80?

We know humble pie is not it, that is for sure.

Meh. There's nothing that special about pot pie.

That people who starve themselves don't know what good food is doesn't surprise me.

Obviously you've never had Du-par's famous chicken pot pies.

It's interesting that so many internationally famous, legendary people in the fashion industry never themselves change their own look, often scarcely altering a whisker or a hair, decade after decade.

But they make millions telling us to.
