Chrissy Teigen Hosts Thanksgiving in February & Does the Best Salt Bae Impression We’ve Ever Seen

We’ve all heard of Christmas in July, but how about Thanksgiving in February? If it’s not already an honorary holiday, Chrissy Teigen has made it an official celebration as of this year, and we’re totally supporting this excuse to have an all-you-can-eat feast and ruin any 2018 fitness goals.

Before officially kicking off the evening, Teigen brushed up on her impersonation skills and channeled her inner Salt Bae (Turkish chef and butcher Nusret Gökçe), while putting the finishing touches on some scrumptious dishes.

Teigen also enlisted husband John Legend to work like a real Gordon Ramsay. In addition to his carved duck, the impromptu feast featured some inventive bacon-wrapped figs and classic mashed potatoes. The item that really put Teigen over the edge was the stuffing and we can’t blame her. Serving sizes are almost always miniscule, but when it comes to boxed stuffing, that’s another story.

“The box says six servings. Look at these people. Who the f**k can f**king eat this much stuffing? Nobody wants this,” Teigen said in one of her Instagram stories. Luckily, Legend, being the supportive husband he is, gave the majority of the stuffing to the dog.

Next year, Chrissy, call me, I’m there!
