The least person that one would expect to be a good cook is a model, but Gigi Hadid proved that she can do anything! The rumored girlfriend of Zayn Malik won Masterchef Celebrity Showdown on January 19 with a not-so-healthy choice of dish.
The 20-year-old model is known for her long legs and tiny waist, so it was a nice surprise when she chose to prepare a fast food staple that she had made her own.
She revealed that her "very special" patty recipe, which had pickled jalapenos and a "crispy onion nest" on it, was inspired by her burger experience in New York. She then paired it with a generous serving of fries.
"The first year I lived in New York I tried a different burger every week to find my favorite burger in New York," Hadid said. "I always say, eat clean to stay fit, have a burger to stay sane."

Known for his honest and direct opinion, Chef Gordon Ramsay didn't hold back when he tasted Hadid's dish, “Your burger is f**king delicious,” he raved. Ramsay believed in her burger so much that he even went on to say that the model should include the dish on her "menu." Hadid defeated fellow Victoria's Secret model Devon Windsor who prepared a much healthier option.

The competition wasn't just for fun and bragging rights for Hadid as she has chosen to donate her prize money to a Lyme disease charity. This is not just a random charity for the model either -- some of her family members have been battling the disease, including her mom, Yolanda Foster.
"My mom, sister and brother are all affected by Lyme Disease," Hadid said as she started to get emotional. "Not enough people know what Lyme Disease is and the dangers of being bitten by an insect. For that, on its own is amazing, but with $25,000, we can help with finding a cure. It can help so much."
