If it's good enough for Gaga, it's good enough for me!
Lady Gaga’s Favorite Lunch Is a Classic New York Sandwich
Published on Jun. 13, 2025
Lady Gaga is one of the most iconic and prolific living celebrities, and she’s only been in the business for 15 years. I remember dancing to her very first single, “Just Dance,” in college in 2009. But you may also know her from the impeccable collaborative jazz albums she recorded with Tony Bennett.
Then, of course, who could forget her iconic performance in 2018’s A Star is Born opposite Bradley Cooper? Whenever I’m having a bad day, I simply watch this video of the two of them singing “Shallow” at the Oscars. It’s an instant pick-me-up!
Between her numerous smash-hit albums, her movie appearances and her sold-out tours, she’s a force to be reckoned with. And, as with all the greats, I’m endlessly curious about how they fuel themselves to keep going at such a high level. But now that I know what Lady Gaga’s favorite lunch is, I will never be the same.
What is Lady Gaga’s favorite lunch?
Anyone who appreciates the beauty of a sandwich is a winner in my eyes. I know Harrison Ford is partial to a good grilled cheese, and Tina Fey loves the offerings of the sandwich chain Jimmy John’s. So the fact that Lady Gaga is also in the sandwich lovers club is amazing news.
According to her private chef, Jumoké Jackson, there’s one specific sandwich that he made for Lady Gaga and her crew constantly while they were on tour. Lady Gaga fuels up with a classic bodega staple: the chopped cheese!
You’ll have to forgive me, because even as a sandwich-lover, I had never heard of this sandwich until now. I’m sorry! I will eat one ASAP as penance. The key components of a chopped cheese are simple: ground beef, onions and American cheese. And you can’t forget a fresh hoagie roll for the bun!
Whether you’ve made this sandwich before or are learning about it just now, I hope that you will enjoy the knowledge that, when you eat a chopped cheese, Lady Gaga is proud of you. It pairs well with some potato chips, a pickle and your favorite Lady Gaga song!
