Celeb Approved Dishes (or not)

I was watching Conan O'Brien last night and he decided to share his favorite St. Patrick's Irish Lamb Stew recipe with us... sort of. Good Housekeeping magazine recently published an article for their "Celeb Dishes" section where for obvious reasons, they featured a favorite traditional Irish dish for the month that Conan O'Brien is known to make. But not really.

Conan was very surprised to see his name and face attached to the dish and jokingly said he felt "exploited" since he has actually never made or even tasted that dish before. Being a good sport that he is, Conan had the editor in chief come on the show and serve up "his" stew. Conan was not mad and even put his own little Irish twist to the stew by adding more ingredients to it, such as, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Guinness, and Lucky Charms. Oh, silly Conan. The segment left me wondering about all the Celebrity made dishes. I mean, Conan said himself that he doesn't cook and has never made that dish in his life. I guess it just all depends on the source. The segment also got me wondering what other dishes could be paired up with celebrities whether they approve it or not. To keep this going, I could see another publication saying "Jackie Chan fights off hunger with Kung Pao Chicken" or... maybe "Eliot Spitzer Shows Us His Matzo Balls Soup." That one might be a little too ballsy to say. But then again, he did make a pretty ballsy move.
