Want to know Kristin Chenoweth's cocktail of choice, favorite restaurants and how she satisfies her sweet tooth? It's all in the May issue of Bon Appetit magazine.

Here are some highlights.

Bon Appetit asks the three things that can always be found in her refrigerator.
Answer: "This is so embarrassing: Coca-Cola; turkey and Swiss, because I like to make little roll-ups with them for protein; and ranch dressing - everything goes with it."

When in L.A., she likes to eat at BLT Steak for appetizers, popovers and a butterfly-cut filet. In New York, she "absolutely adores" Cafe Luxembourg on the Upper West Side. "I go at least once a week," she said.

Bon Appetit asks about her most memorable meal.
Answer: "For my 16th birthday party, my mother made my favorite foods —lasagna, a great salad, garlic bread and chocolate cake with pink icing. It sounds very Pollyanna of me, but those are the meals that I remember, with all my friends and family there and my mom making my favorite things.

And her favorite food city?
"...I love the feel and atmosphere of restaurants in Chicago. I was just there singing, and we went to McCormick and Schmick's, which is pretty well known, and the feel of it was so good — the atmosphere and the service and the food. The steak was outstanding — I keep saying that, but it's what I enjoy. Maybe the experience was enhanced because the people were so cool. No matter where I've been taken to in Chicago, I always think, Man, the food is good!"
