Ariana Madix’s “Taco Bell Board” Takes Cheese Boards to a Whole Other Level

Although charcuterie boards have been a staple at Bravoleb events for years, some Bravo stars are now trading the classic meat, cheese, and fruit combination for especially creative twists on the snack trend. 

In December 2022, Southern Charm’s Naomie Olindo showed her “gas station food board,” consisting of Cheez-Its, Lay’s and Doritos chips, Jack Link’s beef jerky, Nerds candy, Twizzlers, Starburst, and other items. More recently, Ariana Madix shared a look at her mouthwatering contribution to a game night with friends: a board centered around one fast-food restaurant chain in particular. 

In a January 8 Instagram Story photo, the Vanderpump Rules cast member showed the snack board she created using various foods and sauces exclusively from Taco Bell. “Pretty proud of my board,” she wrote.

Ariana has made no secret of her love for Taco Bell over the years. In 2017, she donned rings that read “Taco Bell,” which ended up sparking engagement rumors (yes, you read that right). Ariana shut down the speculation in the best way, tweeting at the time, “I’m engaged to Taco Bell, not [Tom Sandoval].” A couple of years later, Ariana and Tom incorporated their passion for Taco Bell into their book, Fancy AF Cocktails: Drink Recipes from a Couple of Professional Drinkers, with one recipe calling for Taco Bell’s Fire Sauce as an ingredient.
