Brooklyn Beckham proudly shows off his tray of Dunkin’ donuts at LA’s ChainFEST Food Festival after insisting he’s ‘working his ass out’ on his cooking career

Brooklyn Beckham proudly served donuts at the ChainFEST Food Festival in LA on Friday after attacking ‘haters’ who mocked his cooking videos.

The son of footballer David and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, 24, turned up on the opening day of the world’s first gourmet food festival in the city.

It’s a pop-up series created by actor BJ Novak and chef Tim Hollingsworth, of Otium restaurant in downtown LA.

But Brooklyn seemed pleased with himself as he scarfed down an array of donuts from the Dunkin Donuts stand during the culinary event.

Brooklyn has used his Instagram platform as a launching pad for a career as an aspiring celebrity chef, but he’s often met with scathing critics over his videos.

His cooking has come under fire in the past, as many have dismissed his simple recipes, use of expensive ingredients or accusations of nepotism.

In an interview with Insider in October, Brooklyn emphasized that he is not impressed by the criticism, because he knows that he is ‘busy’ and ‘cooking makes him happy’.

He said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying some shit about me…I’m just doing my thing and working my ass off.’

Speaking to the publication, Brooklyn said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying shit about me…

‘My message to them is to keep writing what they want to write. There will always be people trying to bring you down.

‘I do my thing and work my butt off. So they can keep writing whatever they want, but it doesn’t bother me; I just keep doing my thing.’

The former model – who tied the knot with heiress Nicola Peltz in 2022 – kept casual cool in a black jacket and trousers and a white T-shirt, and was joined by a male friend at the event.

After serving the tasty treats, Brooklyn beamed as he packed them into boxes ready for customers.

Also in attendance were John Legend, 44, and wife Chrissy Tiegen, 38, who kept warm against the chilly December night in cozy cardigans, with John wearing a black one and Chrissy a brown one.

Brooklyn cuisine has come under fire in the past, as many have dismissed its simple recipes, use of expensive ingredients or accusations of nepotism.

The foodie event was a hotspot for celebrity performances, with the likes of Mindy Kaling, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen all making their way to the festival.

The Mindy Project star, 44, looked chic in a long black Matrix-style leather coat, which she wore over a black dress and paired with cream over-the-knee boots.

The actress – who was recently spotted dining with BJ Novak – wore her raven braids slightly curled and accessorized with a gold chain for the event, where she enjoyed gourmet food.

Visitors can enjoy flavors from famous fast food chains, including Chili’s Grill and Bar, Dunkin’, Jack in the Box, Panda Express, Pizza Hut, Red Robin and SONIC Drive-In, with drinks supplied by Pepsi.
