Jennifer Aniston has created the coolest Burger tradition in Hollywood. She may be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but Aniston’s favorite role happens at home, as hostess.

The Story Behind Aniston’s Playful “Jen-N-Out” Burger Tradition
GettyAniston‘s friend Bateman can’t stop raving about her perfect twist to the legendary burgers. For the meal, Aniston serves burgers wrapped in playful “Jen-N-Out” wrappers, her cheeky nod to In-N-Out.
According to Bateman, “She stumbled upon a burger that is almost identical to the In-N-Out burger. She actually found some company to print up a bunch of the papers that are wrapped around the burgers with ‘Jen-N-Out’ on it. It looks exactly like the logo. You can either have the beef or chicken, the lettuce or a bun around it. Then, usually, one of us will bring dessert.”
Aniston’s Balanced Approach to Food

Diet plays just as big a role in Aniston’s routine. She follows an 80/20 philosophy. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she shared with Today.
The actress described her diet as “boring” but effective, focusing on protein, veggies, salads, and “tons of water.” Her biggest challenge, however, is sleep. “I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective,” she explained.
For snacks, Aniston often reaches for popcorn, protein bars, or shakes. She also enjoys experimenting with seasonings and vinegar to bring flavor without extra salt, butter, or heavy dressings.
Her Favorite Indulgences
Even with her mindful approach, Aniston admits she still enjoys her favorite foods. “It would be a cheeseburger and fries or Mexican food, pasta, pizza — all the stuff that’s savory. I’m not a sweets person. I don’t go for ice cream or cakes I definitely have a savory tooth,” she said.
While her friends may get a taste of her signature “Jen-N-Out” creations, fans are left wondering how to score an invite to one of Aniston’s Sunday dinners.
