Just when you thought she couldn’t go higher, Martha Stewart has unlocked a new level of unrelatability.
The celebrity chef shocked viewers (and Kelly Clarkson) in an April 28 appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” when she revealed she had never ordered a takeout meal.
“Do you want to know a secret?” Stewart, 83, said. “I have never ordered in.”
The revelation came as she and fellow celebrity guest José Andrés were discussing the filming of their new cooking competition show “Yes, Chef!” in Toronto.

Recounting all the amazing cuisine they sampled in the Canadian city, Stewart laughed off a suggestion from Clarkson that they order delivery rather than go out after a long day of filming.
“You’ve never been like, ‘It’s a Taco Bell night’?” Clarkson asked, clearly in disbelief. Andrés, also shocked, shook his head and said: “Oh my God.”
Stewart doubled down, saying her daughter could vouch for her.

“Prove it!” Andrés said to audience laughter, inviting anyone with proof of Stewart ordering in to come forward.
“You’re so pure,” he joked, down on one knee as if to worship her virtue for never giving in to a late-night Grubhub craving.
Clarkson, back in her seat after getting up in shock, jokingly assured Stewart that she had ordered enough delivery for the both of them.
In “Yes, Chef!” Stewart and Andrés are on a mission to find the best chef among a batch of 12 and to help coach them through any obstacles to success that may be in their way.
“Our job is to be judge and mentor,” Stewart, 83, recently told USA TODAY. “As for the issues, well, there’s anger management, there’s also ‘I’m the best and no one else can do anything as well as I do.’ There are those who can’t cooperate with others or can’t delegate. Perhaps all normal issues, but they’re heightened because it’s a competition setting where you’re trying to put out the best food you can for two foodie people like me and José Andrés.”
