In his interview, Blanco revealed that he learned how to make his own version of Taco Bell’s meat because Gomez loves it so much.

“[I learned how to] recreate Taco Bell meat. I’ve practiced a lot, and I think it’s pretty indistinguishable now if you put them side by side. There are so many things to do. Some of the meat is kind of mixed up. It’s disgusting, but it’s delicious. I’m doing everything from scratch,” he told the outlet.

“Even if you’re terrible at cooking, [your partner will] like it because you did it. Ask your partner what he wants to eat. Don’t try to cook them what you want to eat. If you don’t know how to cook it – learn it,” he advised.

“If you don’t know how to find out, get it from Postmates and put it on a plate and pretend you cooked it,” quipped Blanco. “No, lying is bad! We never lie. Especially if you’re a man, we’re disgusted. No one should even look at us. Try to be chivalrous: Tell her how beautiful she is. Chivalry is not dead.”
