POPSUGAR: When you do go out, what's your ideal cuisine?
Mindy Kaling: When I was pregnant, I was not allowed to eat any sushi. I still feel deprived from that time, even though my daughter's 9 months old, so for me, I definitely go to sushi.
PS: Go-to Postmates order?
MK: My go-to Postmates is probably Shake Shack. [laughs] Why am I answering these questions so quickly? I'm like, "Definitely Shake Shack!" Most actresses are like, "Shake Shack? I make my own granola."
PS: Well, you do make your own baby food!
MK: I do make my own baby food, yes! Although now, she won't eat it. I used to puree all this baby food for her — and now she's just like, I don't want that, I just want to eat what you're eating. So I have to eat a little healthier at home.
PS: Do you have any particular memories of going out to eat with family or friends that really stick in your mind?
MK: When I was growing up, it wasn't like we went to fancy places for dinner. But every Friday night, we'd go to Chili's. My dad would always get the fajitas and they would come out on a sizzling platter and we would just always go to Chili's. So much so that, when I was on The Office, I would write in Chili's things for characters. People always thought they were like, paying the show, but no. I just had such a familial feeling about Chili's growing up.
PS: Almost everyone has been impacted by cancer in some way in their life. Can you share a little bit about why this cause is meaningful to you, personally?
MK: Well, I, like millions of American families, have had cancer in my immediate family, and it's devastating. I remember when my mom was diagnosed. You might think of organizations like Stand Up to Cancer as helping only the person with cancer, but it's actually a support system for the family. And so, for me, this partnership between Mastercard and Stand Up to Cancer is so amazing. For someone who's such a consumer like I am, who loves to go out to eat and hang out with friends, it's the most painless, fun way to make a difference and give back.
