Jennifer Aniston Created a Fast Food Chain at Home: 'Jen-N-Out'

Sure, Jennifer Aniston may be a legendary actress, but she’s also quite good at playing hostess with the mostess.

As revealed in her recent September cover for Vanity Fair, every Sunday, the Friends star gathers 10 to 15 people for dinner, which often includes fellow Hollywood stars like Jason Bateman and Jimmy Kimmel. For the meal, Aniston whips up tasty burgers, which she serves in creative "Jen-N-Out" wrappers, her play on In-N-Out. According to Bateman, “She stumbled upon a burger that is almost identical to the In-N-Out burger. She actually found some company to print up a bunch of the papers that are wrapped around the burgers with ‘Jen-N-Out’ on it. It looks exactly like the logo. You can either have the beef or chicken, the lettuce or a bun around it. Then, usually, one of us will bring dessert.”

Aniston’s interview with the publication revealed many hidden gems, including the 56-year-old opening up for the first time in years about her split from Brad Pitt. In a video clip of the shoot, she briefly commented on The Breakup, the 2006 movie she did with Vince Vaughn, which was filmed primarily in 2005 after she and Pitt parted ways. “I might’ve just gone through a separation,” the star said jokingly. “That little separation, I’m sure nobody remembers that,” she added. 

She continued:  “It was kind of cathartic to go right from that. So when they came to me with the offer, they were a little nervous about making the offer because they thought, ‘Oh, is that insensitive? Is it inappropriate?’ But I actually thought, ‘What a great opportunity.’” Her final reason for taking the part, she says, was that she knew it would “serve the script and the character pretty well.”

Now how do I get to try one of those Jen-N-Out burgers?
