Chrissy Teigen is desperate for some romaine lettuce

Treasured famous person Chrissy Teigen needs romaine lettuce. She and her family (has anyone heard of a guy called John Legend?) recently had a hankering for the green leafy stuff and Teigen was willing to take her plea public.Yesterday, the star hit up Twitter to find out if any of her followers were holding. Teigen offered a trade in return and TBH, it was pretty enticing: fresh baked goods in exchange for simple lettuce, swapped in a no-contact trade to keep social distancing protocol intact. (Reminder: Teigen is a famed cookbook author. We’re guessing that her banana bread is above par. If only we lived in LA.) Naturally, her call was answered by a lucky millennial in Studio City who happened to have several heads of romaine in stock.This was Teigen’s original plea:

I’ll make a banana bread for anyone that has romaine lettuce. The trade will be made 6 feet apart and we will place the goods on the floor. no funny business

Comedian and fellow LA resident Chris Klemens answered Chrissy’s call, providing alluring photo evidence of the fresh lettuce.

And that’s when things got interesting. How was Teigen supposed to know that the lettuce actually existed? What if this man, a stranger up until now, just happened to have a stockpile of photos of himself posing with produce? Clever Teigen demanded verification that the photo was legit and Klemens stepped up to provide the proof.

The final stage of the deal involved an intense round of bargaining. John Legend, a smart man who puts banana bread ahead of lettuce (apologies for the pun) demanded half the loaf be kept at home and Teigen had to augment her original offer by throwing in a slice or two of pie. We’re still waiting to find out what she makes with the romaine.[video_embed id='1907812']RELATED: Chrissy Teigen reveals one of the hardest parts of raising a daughter[/video_embed]
