If you think that celebrities had an easy way to superstardom, think again. A fair number of today's superstars were not born in a dazzling gown, in a suit and with studio lights all around. Of course, some were once 'young and broke' just like everybody else, worked part time waiting tables and operating the cash register just like everybody else.
Here are 10 of the most popular and influential celebrities you didn't know worked for the food industry before they rose to fame and stardom.
1. Nicki Minaj
The Anaconda singer once worked as a waitress at The Red Lobster back when she was just a teenager. Now you might wonder if Nicki had the patience to wait tables, given her past sassy exchanges with other celebs, and true enough, the rapper was subsequently fired after following a couple to the parking lot, who jacked her pen and made it flip off. Looks like Nicki won't let anyone step down on her even before!
