Billie Lourd recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden this week, and revealed some family secrets. 

“Cooking is a dangerous thing for me, I’m pretty inept in the kitchen,” she said, adding of the holidays, “It’s kind of scary, it’s a dangerous time. So, what I do is lie, I bring something from a great restaurant and I put it in a sad little box and pretend like I did it.”

She explained the lie had “become a family tradition vibe” and added, “my grandma used to do it.”

In fact, “She did it really poorly. One year, she decided she was going to make everything and she said she was going to make everything. [She] put [the food] out. My dad and I were serving the food on the plates and we were like, ‘This isn’t looking great.’”

She continued: “And we checked under [the table] and it’s El Pollo Loco. At least put it in a different dish!”
