Met Gala 2025 chef teases menu
And though the general public doesn't know too much about what goes on behind closed doors, we do sometimes get little tidbits about what happens at the Met Gala - including details about the dinner.
When it comes to the garlic, onions, and chives, Wintour revealed that they're simply foods she's not too fond of - and if you're the person running the Met Gala, your food preferences will probably be taken into consideration. As for the bruschetta and parsley? The ban on those foods is for more practical reasons. Bruschetta, while delicious, can be extremely messy - and no one wants to risk dropping tomatoes and cheese down their designer outfits.
As for the parsley - it's best to not leave any chance of getting food stuck in your teeth. So we know what won't be on the menu, but what about what will be? BET recently interviewed Kwame Onwuachi, the chef who will be responsible for curating and executing the 2025 Met Gala menu. Although Onwuachi is keeping the exact menu for the gala under wraps, he said that he would be creating something that would be highlighting this year's theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
Onwuachi is the owner of Tatiana, one of the hottest culinary spots in New York City. He's known for his Afro-Caribbean dishes - something the guests of the 2025 Met Gala have to look forward to. Some of Onwuachi's most famous dishes include oxtail and crab rangoon, short rib pastrami suya, and curried honey butter cornbread.
'I wanted to really capture Black culture in all of its elements - from the diaspora to the Caribbean to the American South, even to just the boroughs in New York,' he told the outlet. And for someone who's known for his dishes' aesthetics just as much as their taste, it's likely that the celebs attending this year's Met Gala are in for something delightful.
Onwuachi said that what Virgil Abloh did with fashion is what he does (and plans to do) with dining. And if you know anything about Abloh's legendary contributions to the fashion world, then your mouth is already probably watering.

Halle Berry's ex slammed after accusing star of 'not cooking and cleaning'
Halle Berry's ex has been skewered by fans (Image: Getty Images for Joylux & Playgr) Halle Berry's ex has been skewered by fans after lifting the lid on his relationship with the Oscar winner. David Justice was married to the Monsters Ball star for four years from 1993 to 1997. Details were scarce regarding the couple's divorce, but now David has come out swinging, claiming he left the A-lister because she didn't cook, clean - or seem "motherly". Speaking on the All the Smoke podcast with co-host Matt Barnes, David reflected on his high-profile relationship with the Catwoman star. It comes as actress, Sophie Turner, clapped back at a fan, who accused her of abandoning her kids while partying at an Oasis concert.

And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem, like, motherly." He added that eventually he "realised this isn't the person I wanted to spend my life with", but claimed the he later understood that the marriage could have been saved if he "knew about therapy". He concluded: "It's just that I, because I was young, had only been in honestly one real relationship before her. My knowledge and my understanding and my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast. David also admitted that he deeply hurt Halle by jumping ship rather than 'massaging' it or seeking 'therapy' in an attempt to mend their relationship. The couple may still be together if they'd had therapy, according to David However, following his comments, many fans slammed the MLB star, with one taking to X, fuming: "Motherly? She was his partner, not his mom." Another said: "Imagine expecting Halle Berry, the first Black actress to earn $20m for a movie, the #1 most desirable woman in the world for decades, the first Black woman to win an Oscar, to stay home to cook and clean. Men and audacity." Meanwhile, a third raged: "David really expected THEE Halle Berry in her prime to be a stay at home housewife. Talk about an all-time fumble for Mr. Justice." In the podcast, David also said that he was upset with his ex-wife for not clarifying that he was not the ex she said that had once physically abused her. In 1996, Halle told People that she had an abusive, unnamed ex, who once struck her in the head and ended up puncturing her eardrum, causing her to suffer from hearing loss. "She let the world think it was me," David claimed, adding: "I thought she was dead wrong for that." The Mirror has contacted Halle's rep for comment on this story.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Mhairi Black slides into stand-up comedy with ease
If you get a chance to see the ex-SNP MP's new Work In Progress show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, you'll find yourself asking similar questions. How has this woman who has spent the best part of the last 10 years at archaic and snooty Westminster managed to adapt to the world of stand up like a duck to water? Black's walk onto the stage at the university's Appleton Tower with a pint in hand accompanied by Cigarettes and Alcohol by Oasis was a sign she was well versed in comedic timing given the Gallagher brothers had just spent the weekend playing to crowds at Murrayfield. READ MORE: The Pleasance to reopen after 72 Edinburgh Fringe shows cancelled I did worry for a second we were going to get an Al Murray 'Pub Landlord' style set but as Black quickly explained, after leaving politics, she simply needed to find another career she could pursue that allowed to day drink and 'talk shite'. Rest assured she did no such thing for the next hour. Audiences are treated to a stellar performance full of witty quips, as well as side-splitting stories about her getting high in Amsterdam when Boris Johnson resigned as Prime Minister and ever-so-slightly outlandish policy ideas she's been exchanging with her new gym trainer Andy. She packs a lot into an hour. At the start, I did briefly think she was jumping from story to story a little too quickly, but it seems she was taking the approach of settling everyone in with a bunch of sharp one-liners before moving onto more detailed and relatable stories about language misunderstandings between the older and younger generations, awkwardly getting recognised during sensitive health appointments, and crude messages on spoiled ballots which lifted the veil on a mysterious aspect of politics – something Black does many times throughout the set. (Image: NQ) What I was taken aback by was the ease with which she linked jokes together like stand-up comedy was something she'd been doing for years. While there is a lot crammed in, she seems to have got a real knack for creating threads between stories, and you can't help but admit the performance is pretty seamless. It was nothing like a new comedy set – there were no awkward moments of silence and everything landed. She might have quit the SNP and Westminster, but Black seems to have found a new world she could really shine in. She mentioned early on that it was a WIP (work in progress) show, what she described as a 'half-baked idea' she wanted to test out. But there is nothing 'half-baked' about it – it's smart, engaging and downright hilarious.

Halle Berry's ex is skewered by fans for saying he left her because she didn't cook, clean, or seem 'motherly'
Halle Berry 's ex was slammed by fans of the actress after he revealed the reasons why he 'decided to leave' her back then. Berry, 58, was previously married to David Justice for four years from 1993 to 1997. Justice, a former baseball outfielder, said that he ended their marriage because she was not as 'motherly' as he had expected. The MLB star, 59, said on the All the Smoke podcast with co-host Matt Barnes while reflecting on how his private life became highly publicized because of his past romance with the Catwoman star. On the recent podcast episode, he admitted that he used to think: 'If we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with? And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem, like, motherly.' He said that eventually he 'realized this isn't the person I wanted to spend my life with' but added that he later began to understand that the marriage could have been saved if he 'knew about therapy.' However, his comments still sparked outrage as Berry's fans appeared to be appalled that he once wanted her to take on a stereotypical housewife role amid her busy acting job as her career in entertainment was taking off at the time. 'It's just that I, because I was young, had only been in honestly one real relationship before her. My knowledge and my understanding and my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast.' Many fans slammed Justice, a three-time MLB All-Star and two-time World Series winner who played with the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees during his 14 seasons in the league, for the 'audacity' of wanting the Oscar-winning actress to 'cook and clean.' 'Motherly? She was his partner, not his mom,' one social media user wrote on X as a slew of fans came to Berry's defense when Justice's comments went viral online. 'Imagine expecting Halle Berry, the first Black actress to earn $20m for a movie, the #1 most desirable woman in the world for decades, the first Black woman to win an Oscar, to stay home to cook and clean. Men and audacity,' another person tweeted. 'David Justice tryna make HALLE BERRY cook & clean is CRAZY work. TF was he thinkin,' a fan added alongside a GIF expressing their dismay. 'Halle Berry, a household name, was supposed to take time away from her breadwinning career to 'cook and clean' for a man I've never heard of?! LMAOOOO! 'According to their net worths, he needed to be the one throwing the apron on and cleaning the house too,' one person wrote about the MLB star and the famed actress. Another person tweeted: 'David really expected THEE Halle Berry in her prime to be a stay at home housewife. Talk about an all-time fumble for Mr. Justice.' 'Motherly? She was his partner, not his mom,' one social media user wrote on X as a slew of fans came to Berry's defense when Justice's comments went viral online 'Men and audacity,' another person tweeted in response to the clip of Justice saying he 'couldn't see [Halle Berry] as the mother of his kids' One person tweeted a laughing emoji and wrote: 'David Justice dead a** married Halle Berry and wanted her to fold clothes. Catwoman pushing a vacuum?' Another fan tweeted: 'David's Justice comment about Halle Berry says more about his preferences than her worth. Plenty of great moms don't fit the "cook, clean, motherly" stereotype. Sometimes it's just a mismatch, not a measure of value.' At the time of publication, Berry has not yet responded to his public comments from the recent podcast appearance. In the same episode, Justice also said that he was upset with his ex-wife for not clarifying that he was not the ex she had that once physically abused her. He also conceded that he deeply hurt her by leaving her suddenly rather than 'massaging' it or seeking 'therapy' in an attempt to mend their relationship. Back in 1996, Berry told People that she had an abusive, unnamed ex, who once struck her in the head and ended up puncturing her eardrum, causing her to suffer from hearing loss. 'She let the world think it was me,' Justice said in the podcast episode. 'I thought she was dead wrong for that.' He later added about their marriage, reflecting on their split decades later: 'I look back on that situation, and I'm like, that girl really did love me.' 'Halle Berry, a household name, was supposed to take time away from her breadwinning career to 'cook and clean' for a man I've never heard of?! LMAOOOO,' one person wrote about the MLB star and the famed actress Another fan tweeted: 'David's Justice comment about Halle Berry says more about his preferences than her worth. Plenty of great moms don't fit the "cook, clean, motherly" stereotype. Sometimes it's just a mismatch, not a measure of value' 'And I can see why she would be so mad at me. Because imagine if you really love somebody and they tell you they want to break up, and there's nothing you can say to get them back. That had to have been tough on her. 'I didn't ease out,' he added before explaining that he was just 'gone' and 'could have massaged that better.' Justice has been married to wife Rebecca Justice for 24 years and shares two children with her; meanwhile, Berry has been in a long-term relationship with Van Hunt for five years. She was previously married to Oliver Martinez from 2013 to 2016 and also to her first husband Eric Benet from 2001 to 2005. She is a mother to two children — daughter Nahla, 17, whose dad is Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo, 11, with Martinez.
