On Tuesday afternoon, television writer and actor Tina Fey sat with Will Forte and Kerri Kenney-Silver inside a Midtown conference room to discuss their new project, 'The Four Seasons.' The conversation, hosted over coffee and a plate of biscotti, turned quickly to home cooking habits. Fey admitted she keeps her repertoire limited, naming only three dishes she feels comfortable making. One of them, she said, is a simple soup she prepares at home for her family.
The group, all comedians and actors, swapped details about their own kitchen routines. Forte described himself as a takeout regular, while Kenney-Silver claimed she relies on eggs and sandwiches for most meals. The interview took place on a humid June day, with sidewalk café tables nearby already filling up for lunch.
The conversation shifted to pizza, a topic that often divides New Yorkers. When the question of pineapple on pizza came up, Fey paused and declined, saying she prefers a classic slice. Forte, on the other hand, said he would not turn down a sweet-and-savory combination, noting he had recently ordered pineapple and jalapeño from a local pizzeria in Astoria.
Neither Fey nor her colleagues claimed deep expertise in the kitchen. Still, their quick exchange reflected a common summer mood in the city—relying on easy meals or delivery, especially as kitchens heat up. For now, Fey’s soup is staying off restaurant menus, but she says it remains a household standby during busy production days.
