Gordon Ramsey be damned, Supermodel Chrissy Teigen has a thing for airplane food.
In fact, not only is she a big fan of meals on flights-unlike the notoriously angry chef, who said he would never eat the stuff-the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model is eyeing a second career as an airline blogger.
"One of my biggest dreams is to rate airplane food," Teigen told Travel+Leisure. "I can tell you every meal on every flight."

Well, she certainly logs enough airline miles to be an expert. The 31-year old has been traveling the globe as a model since her teenage years, gaining popularity after her first SI swimsuit appearance in 2010. She's grown her brand through television by hosting the 2013 reality show Model Employee and co-hosting both the Lip Sync Battle and daytime talk show FabLife.
She also has more than 5 million followers on Twitter, where she is a funny, self-deprecating and outspoken figure on social media.
Teigen, who told T+L she never travels without hot sauce, said her love of airline food stems from the presentation.
Yes, the presentation.

"I've always been a fan of compartmentalized food. I love things where they are in their own little area," she said. "I've always loved everything about it whether it's coach, first class, business - it doesn't matter. If things were wrapped in plastic bag I loved it. I've always been intrigued by it."
Her favorites?
"Virgin has the most innovative, coolest menu, but sometimes they're too cool for their own good," Teigen said. "Virgin America does a chilaquile that is crazy delicious. Lunch kind of always sucks, so I try to always get dinner or breakfast on the flight. For breakfast I always get the omelet, (the) one with red bell peppers, potatoes and herb goat cheese spread. There is a short rib on Delta that is really amazing with polenta."
So, is a second career in the making for the wife of Grammy-winning singer John Legend?
Let's put it this way: You probably won't make it past four or five tweets where she isn't talking about food.
