Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco definitely want their partners’ signature dishes included in their “last meal.”
The music producer, 37, and singer, 32, revealed on the April 30 episode of the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast that he would want Gomez’s corn casserole to be at his “last supper.”
“We’re big on casserole,” Gomez said, and explained that it’s like a sweet cornbread.
“It’s delicious,” Blanco said, adding that his mom used to make her own iteration of Gomez’s dish for him, too. “It doesn’t have the same density [as corn bread], it’s much looser.”

He also said he grew up eating a lot of corn, especially during Thanksgiving. Gomez revealed that she loves it as much and will request the item for her rider. The Emmy nominee explained that she could eat a lot of it. “I love [it], like, because you can make it the Mexican street with all of [the corn]. [That’s] how I grew up.”

Meanwhile, Blanco guessed what his fiancée’s last meal would be, and said she would also include one of his home-cooked dishes. “She wants my steak, specifically,” he said. “I do like a ribeye, and then I usually smoke it low for a long time, and then I sear it at the end.”
“I smoke it in a smoker for like, an hour,” he revealed, adding that it makes it taste like “medium smoke” and “almost like barbecue.”

He then continued to explain that the Only Murders in the Building star is “gonna be eating a bunch,” so she’ll want small portions of everything.
“A little teeny bit” of her grandmother’s rice and tamale. “A little bit of her mom’s cheese potatoes,” he continued. “One bite of Nana’s chicken and dumplings.”
Gomez clarified that her grandmother was her father’s mother, and Mexican recipes come from that side of her family. While her Nana is her mother’s mother, explaining that her Southern roots are from her mom’s side.

Blanco pivoted from Gomez’s loved ones’ meals, and said she would want one piece of salmon sushi with sesame seeds on top, dipped in soy sauce. Then, a Mexican pizza from Taco Bell, a Coke slushie, movie theater nachos with pickled jalapenos, “so she can mix the juice with the chips.”
Once he finished rattling off all the little bites, she would have her final meal, Gomez confirmed that he only forgot one thing. “The creepy and wonderful thing about Benny is he knows me very very well. So yes. The only thing he missed is maybe Benihana’s fried rice.”
