Stanley Tucci is a man about food. You probably didn't need me to tell you that. His social media is splashed with his latest culinary creations (Fish stew! Stuffed rabbit! Fresh carbonara!). When he's not dabbling in his own kitchen, you might find him at a trendy new London haunt or dining his way through Italy—all documented on CNN, of course.
However, there's one food category the actor-turned-Instagram chef steers clear of: Fast food. If he had to choose just one staple chain to dine at for the rest of his life, Tucci...simply wouldn't. "No, I could never do that," he revealed exclusively to Delish. "I'm anti-chain [restaurant]."
"In a pinch, [I'll go]. If you're stuck in an airport or train station and you're starving. If you have no other option," he says. "I don't believe in that...It's processed food, and it's always filled with a lot of S-*-*-T."
So...where might you find Stanley Tucci if it isn't McDonald's? Corrigan's Mayfair is a good guess. The cookbook author opened up about one of his favorite restaurants, where he'll be hosting an exclusive event with Marriott Bonvoy in April.
"We talked about a lot of different [restaurant] options, but [Chef Corrigan] is just an incredible guy. I live in London, and I absolutely love British produce and British cooking, and he's just one of the best there is," he says. "I'm very excited to eat."
Aside from just chowing down, Tucci will engage with fans and discuss his latest book, What I Ate In One Year, in a conversation with media personality Edith Bowman. "She'll interview me, we'll talk about the book, and we'll talk about food," he continues. "Hopefully, that will whet everyone's appetite for Richard's food."
Tucci will likely enjoy the meal with a martini in hand. "To me, the cocktail of any season is a martini," he adds. His order? Straight up, dry with a twist. If only he knew how well that paired with Micky D's fries.
