Guilty pleasures of the famous chefs [PHOTOS]. Isn't it tiring, trying to be perfect? Isn't there something to be said for the occasional dash of depravity?

There is, and we're saying it.

As we secretly indulged in some of our favorite things this morning, we started thinking about guilty pleasures.

The urban dictionary says a guilty pleasure is something that we shouldn’t like, but we like anyway.

I think thats is a contradiction in terms. If we really like doing something, we shouldn’t feel guilty about it, right?

Below is a list of famous chefs with guilty pleasures.

Mario Batali

When orange-clogged chef and television personality Mario Batali isn't reinventing Italian cuisine, he's still got it in the bag -- of Doritos, that is. "I love two things: good gelato and, strangely enough, Doritos and salsa. It has to be Doritos, though. I especially like the lime-flavored ones with chili."

Nigella Lawson

Which foods make domestic goddess Nigella Lawson feel sinful? None! Nigella, who is famous for her intimate, relaxed cooking style says, "I don't have any guilty food pleasures. The only thing one should ever feel guilty about is not taking pleasure."

Daisy Martinez

Author and Food Network star Daisy Martinez, host of "Viva Daisy!," loves to give in to temptation. "I have a few guilty pleasures, not least of which is my mother's mofongo, a dish made of mashed plantains with garlic and pork crackling that I would consider selling one of my kids for! That being said, I have made my husband promise me that when I am on my deathbed, he will pry my mouth open right before I draw my last breath, and push in a sliver of pan-seared foie gras -- with maybe a bit of grilled mango for acidity -- into my mouth because I am sure that is what paradise tastes like."

Tom Colicchio

"Top Chef" host and chef/owner of the Craft empire, Tom Colicchio clearly spends a lot of time around extravagant foods. While the rest of us might be hankering for a burger, Tom says, "I have a weakness for Wagyu beef. It's definitely a luxury, but it's just so tender and flavorful."

Daniel Boulud

Restaurant impresario and ambassador of French cuisine, Daniel Boulud says his favorite guilty pleasure "is actually a very simple one. While I grew up surrounded by incredible produce from my parents' farm, one thing we certainly did not grow was avocados, and I didn't have my first one until I was a teenager. They have been a favorite indulgence ever since. I just split the avocado and sprinkle it with salt and pepper and a bit of very extra virgin olive oil, such as Manni. The oil really brings out the fruitiness of the avocado."

Wolfgang Puck

Award-winning chef and celebrity restaurateur Wolfgang Puck has a French sweet tooth. He craves delicate cookies from one of Paris' best bakeries: "My guilty pleasure is macaroons from Ladurée in Paris. Pistachio ones!" The sweets might not be too pricey, but the airfare is definitely an indulgence.
