People love the Met Gala for the outrageous wardrobe choices, its celebrity-trodden red carpet, and the way it elevates fashion to a work of art. What people don’t get excited over is the food. Nor should they, if a recent photograph shared by Keke Palmer is any indication.
The 28-year-old actress posted a pic of her dinner plate to her Instagram Stories during the event after a fan pleaded, “Give us all the teaaaa! What’s on the menu?” The ensuing image was enough to ruin our appetite for days. It featured a tomato salad with sliced zucchini and corn, as well as some gooey barley with roasted mushrooms.

“This why they don’t show y’all the food,” Palmer captioned the pic. “I’m just playinnnn.”
She wasn’t really, though. It kind of looked like something you’d leave out on your patio for a bird to eat.
Bon Appetit advisor Marcus Samuelsson was the brains behind the spread, the first completely plant-based one in Met Gala history.
Other items served included collard greens with hot chow on coconut buttermilk cornbread, black rice porcini arancini with pumpkin Calabrian chili sauce, and watermelon tart with smoked yuzu soy on a panipuri cracker. We don’t know what half that crap is, but it couldn’t have tasted any good.
It took 10 chefs to come up with the menu…which doesn’t say much about the talent of those chefs.
“We thought it was important to really talk about what’s present, what’s happening — how food is changing in America,” Samuelsson told Bon Appetit in August about the decision to go plant-blased. “We want to be the future of American food, of plant-based food. That conversation is happening now.”
If that’s the conversation, we’ll sit this one out. You can find us at the drive-thru silently wolfing down a burger and fries, thanks.
