The One Fast-Food Sandwich Savannah Guthrie Eats Every Day
Savannah Guthrie is no stranger to influencing the masses. The Today co-anchor has been supplying viewers with good laughs, up-to-date information, and most recently, tips on how to become a better cook through her series "Starting from Scratch." But thanks to her appearance on the fall issue of Allrecipes, she may be influencing us to do a little more than that.
Set to hit stands on August 23, Guthrie is the site's first-ever magazine cover star and in true form, she served up some sweet info.

Beginning by revealing that "Starting from Scratch" got its start because the show had been "trying to teach me to cook for years," Guthrie admits that — even after eight episodes of the series — she only rates her cooking at a 2 out of 10 (up from a zero). But what actually inspired her to do the show after the years of the staff asking her? Her kids, of course.
"I wanted to be able to make a few meals they would actually eat that are both healthy and delicious," she said. And while her children inspired her to cook, she actually says that her favorite person to cook for is her husband. "It makes him unreasonably happy to see me try to cook. He’s a very good cook, and he loves to cook, so he really marvels when I’m in there trying."

In the cover story interview, Guthrie also reveals other food-related things such as her last meal on Earth, favorite cuisines, who inspires her in the kitchen, and the recipe her children love the most. But the one thing readers probably wouldn't have expected? The one fast-food sandwich she has to eat every single day.

While dinnertime sees her frequenting Thai, Mexican or Mediterranean restaurants, she admits that she eats the same thing for lunch every day. "Embarrassingly, I eat [the exact same thing] for lunch every single day of the week," she told the outlet.
Opting for a Bacon-Style Turkey, Cheddar & Egg White Sandwich each day, the quick to-go sandwich has had Guthrie coming back for more for years on end. And it may be easy to see why. Made with bacon-style turkey, cage free egg whites and cheddar cheese set atop a wheat English muffin, the high-protein item is well-needed to keep her going for the days.
So, if anyone ever gives you grief about your daily trip to Starbucks, be sure to tell them that if Savannah Guthrie can do it, you can too.
