Benny Blanco is no stranger to the kitchen.

The Grammy-nominated producer frequently share his dishes on social media and is prearing to release a cookbook, Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends. His love for food extends into his relationship with pop singer and actress Selena Gomez. The two have been dating for almost a year, during which time Blanco has taken every opportunity to air out his girlfriend's favorite foods.

"The only way I got where I am is by cooking food," said Blanco on the Hoda and Jenna Show.

Meatballs

In February, Gomez posted a carousel of photos with her beau. One shot features the two in the kitchen, with Blanco putting together a meatball. Gomez leans on his back, smiling at the camera as she cuddles up to him.

"My bes fwend," wrote the Only Murders in the Building star. Blanco replied in the comments, "das my bes fwen."

Pickles

For Valentine's Day, Blanco whipped up one of Gomez's favorite snacks: fried pickles. Her favorite pickles are Best Maid Hamburger Slices from Mansfield, TX. Blanco took to Tik Tok to share his pickle frying process. After he finished his recipe, he gave the audience some interesting advice: "Take one, dip it, eat it, get laid, Happy Valentine's Day."

"Fry pickles and get laid" reads the expletive-filled video's caption.

Blanco appears to have an affection for using food to "get laid."

Steak

Blanco says whenever he wants to "get laid," he makes Gomez a steak.

"I woke up early this morning, and I was like, I want to do something nice for my girlfriend," announced Blanco in an Instagram reel.

"Whenever I want to put a smile on her face, or get laid, I make a steak," he continued. He explained that Gomez was working that day and that he wanted to surprise her with the "best f--ing steak dinner she's ever had."

He made an expansive meal, including potatoes, a Caesar salad, creamed spinach and, of course, a steak. He took a moment to promote his cookbook. When he arrived at Gomez's workplace, he found out she was at home-asleep. He left a sweet note, reading "I love you! Sleep well! I made you steak" before leaving.

Taco Bell

Blanco appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where he gushed over his girlfriend. The two discussed his nearly year-long relationship with the singer. He explained to Stern that Gomez isn't a complicated or demanding partner. Blanco divulged the couple's Valentine's Day activities.

"This is literally what we did for Valentine's Day...Her favorite thing is Taco Bell, these are her favorite foods," he said. He continued, saying that he consulted with Gomez's friends and family before taking to the kitchen.

"I got her all her favorite Taco Bell," he said. Along with Taco Bell treats, he provided with Gomez a steak, fried pickles, Hot Cheetos and movie theater nachos.
