Oprah Eats 30 Pounds of Mac and Cheese
Winfrey, who has famously struggled with weight gain over her career, admits to Piers Morgan in his first interview on Monday that emotional eating has been a problem in her life. In one incident, Winfrey says she was so depressed when her 1998 movie Beloved bombed in theaters that she embarked on a "massive, depressive macaroni and cheese-eating tailspin." "I'm not in the movie business. I did this movie because I was passionate about it," Winfrey says. "I didn't know that you had that weekend and that is it. So I am thinking that if people don't go this weekend, that people will go see it next weekend." "It premiered on a Friday and I remember hearing on Saturday morning that we got beat by something called Chucky," she tells Morgan. "I didn't even know what Chucky was. I asked my chef at the time, Art Smith, to make some macaroni and cheese." Winfrey says, " I ate about 30 pounds worth"...... Wow, that had to of been some really good Mac and Cheese. I am searching for the recipe this moment.
