On Wednesday, the 44year-old who calls Kim Kardashian BFF unveiled a menu collaboration with The Ainsworth, showing off a platter of chicken wings covered in edible 24-karat gold.

He approves! Jonathan posted a video of himself trying the new wings. My camera's even trembling, these are so lit,' he says in the clip. 'These are unbelievable. He also picks one up on camera, dips it in blue cheese, and takes a bite with some of the shimmery gold coming off on his lips. Jonathan created the wings in collaboration with The Ainsworth owner Brian Mazza, who raved about them as well. 'The creative process is hands down the best part of my job! This 24k Gold Wing collab with @foodgod was a really fun project!''Food god' is the brand Jonathan runs in which he promotes food and restaurants. He has said that it was Kim's husband Kanye West who came up with the name.
In June of last year, Page Six reported that Jonathan was legally changing his name to 'food god'.'Everyone calls me food god; scream it in the streets and run up to me in restaurants, and I want people calling me food god when they write about me not Jonathan or "BFF,"' he said. But while the TV personality said he planned to change his name officially, it's unclear if he has since followed through.
