Chrissy Teigen recalls a terrifying experience during a her first time taking John Legend to a fancy dinner for the first time and thought that her card would decline.

Teigen talked about her love for cooking and said, “Part of the role that I sort of fell into was as audience surrogate because I don’t have a background in food. I don’t have a super developed palate. I didn’t have a huge interest in food. I grew up really poor. We didn’t go out to eat a lot. We had very humble meals at home, and we’ve talked a lot about that, and I learned a lot through this show.”

She added, “I took John [Legend] to Jean-Georges when I was 20 years old, and I remember the margarita that he ordered was $58. I was just blown away when it came out. It came out on a little dish and had little salts and everything.”

She finished by saying, “My heart broke because I knew then that my card would probably decline. I ended up going to the bank and getting cash because I was so, so scared that it would decline, so I ended up getting out like $800 cash. Our meal there was beautiful and wonderful, but the fear that went into having it…oh my God, I’ll never forget that feeling in my entire life. It was terrifying.”
