Chrissy Teigen To Curate Delta Air Lines Food?

Twitter rant can apparently land you a job. Delta Air Lines just invited model Chrissy Teigen to curate their in-flight menu after she criticized airplane food on social media on Monday.

In a series of tweets, Teigen went after what according to her was “atrocious” food served in planes.

She continued to take the airline menu apart writing, “plane shrimp are bad. plane shrimp on avocado toast with capers??? dear god” and concluding with, “This seems like a good time for me to share my dream of curating an airline menu.”

Soon enough her fans got to work, spreading her message around, tagging multiple airlines, some of whom even got a response back from the airplane companies. One of them was Twitter user @J264B who tried to draw the attention of Delta and was successful. When the airline promptly replied to the user’s tag, the latter elaborated in a follow-up tweet.

“My problem is that @chrissyteigen hasn’t been asked by Delta to curate the in-flight menus. Or the menu in SkyClub. Please help,” @J264B tweeted. To that, Delta replied, “Thank you for providing your feedback and I will share your concerns with our Inflight catering team. We appreciate your feedback make it a great day. *AKB”

While that could have easily been the end of the conversation, Delta decided to take it a step further. They approached Teigen directly on Twitter, asking her if she would be interested in curating their food menu.

“Would love to show you around our kitchen. Let’s chat,” the airline tweeted, to which she replied with an emphatic “Okay!”

The conversation quickly became mouthwatering with Teigen suggesting yummy recipes like, “Let’s do a super gooey biscoff brownie with cinnamon gelato…” and Delta saying, “Don’t stop now. We’re hungry.”

Although Delta is the only one who had approached Teigen so far, other airlines might soon be lining up with offers soon. Southwest and Alaska Airlines have already shown interest in hiring the model in the future.

“We're always open to suggestions for our already famous packaged pretzel recipes. If there's a way to improve on our Airplane Cookies, we're all ears. Surely we can work together to come up with something amazing, right Tori? –Adam” Southwest wrote in reply to a Twitter user’s comment.

However, the user wasn’t satisfied. “C’mon @SouthwestAir you can do better than that. Think bigger, as in entrees through desserts! Passengers want hot & delicious meals, not merely prepackaged snacks. I highly recommend your culinary team checking out Chrissy Tiegen’s newest cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More,” the user tweeted, to which the airline replied, “That Spicy Honey Butter tho! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. In all seriousness, we'll use your suggestion to enhance our Inflight Experience while still focusing on our low-cost brand. Hope to see you onboard soon! –Grayson”

Alaska gave a similar reply when another user tweeted, “@AlaskaAir Hi There! Please note offer from Chrissy Teigen to develop an airline menu! Hoo whee!” The airline wrote: “Noooommzz! That would be the dream. Cravings 3 maybe? #Cravings3UpInTheAir ”
