Brooklyn Beckham proudly served up doughnuts at the ChainFEST Food Festival in LA on Friday, after hitting back at ‘haters’ mocking his cooking videos.
The son of footballer David and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, 24, made an appearance at the the world’s first gourmet chain food festival in the city on its opening day.
It’s a pop-up series created by actor B.J. Novak and chef Tim Hollingsworth, from downtown LA’s restaurant Otium.
But Brooklyn looked pleased with himself as he rustled up an array of doughnuts at the Dunkin Donuts stall at the culinary event.
Brooklyn has used his Instagram platform as a launchpad for a career as an aspiring celebrity chef, however he has frequently been met with mirth from scathing critics about his videos.

His cooking has come under fire in the past as many have slammed either his simple recipes, use of pricey ingredients or bandied around accusations of nepotism.
In an interview with Insider in October, Brooklyn insisted he is not fazed by the criticism as he knows himself he is ‘working his bum off’ and ‘cooking makes him happy’.
He said: ‘To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me… I’m doing my thing and working my bum off.’
Speaking to the publication, Brooklyn said: ‘To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me…
‘My message to them is to keep writing whatever they want to write. There are always going to be people out there who try and pull you down.
‘I’m doing my thing and working my bum off. So they can keep writing what they want, but it’s not going to bother me — I’m just going to keep doing my thing’.
The former model – who tied the knot with heiress Nicola Peltz in 2022 – kept casual cool in a black jacket and pants and white tee, and was joined by a male friend at the event.
After serving up the tasty treats, Brooklyn beamed as he packed them into boxes ready for customers.
