Last weekend, Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, brought her friend Nick Jonas home to Rhode Island to meet her parents and, just as importantly, to introduce him to some of the foods of her native state.

Olivia brought Nick to Iggy's Doughboys & Chowder House, a popular clamshack in an historic section of Warwick called Oakland Beach, where they ordered from the takeout window like regular folks.

As the author of a book on clamcakes called Clamcake Summer, I hope Nick had the privilege of tasting one of those deep fried balls of clam-studded dough that, in Rhode Island, are essential to "Chillin' In The Summertime." I enjoy speculating about the famous people, like Nick, who may have fallen in love with clamcakes on visits to the smallest state.

Jacqueline Kennedy spent summers at her stepfather's home in Newport, Hammersmith Farm, and married John F. Kennedy at St. Mary's Church in Newport. If she ate clamcakes, I'm sure they turned to something fancier like clam fritters or beignets at the touch of her elegant fingers.

Taylor Swift has bought a "cottage" in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. I speculate that she settled there rather than in the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard because she wrote "You Belong With Me" about clamcakes.

Figure skater Michelle Kwan was recently married in Providence to a scion of Rhode Island's Pell family. Maybe one of the reasons she fell in love with Clay is because she likes to reward herself with a clamcake and chowder combo after landing a triple-triple combination.

Anthony Hopkins filmed Meet Joe Black at the Aldrich estate in Warwick, Rhode Island. I like to imagine Hopkins ate his clamcakes with some fava beans.

Emma Watson studied at Brown University. If she is as smart as Hermione Granger, her favorite snack with butterbeer is clamcakes.

Nick Jonas has endeared himself to Rhode Islanders by eating where we eat and what we eat. I hope the next photo Nick unveils of himself on Twitter will show him proposing to...a clamcake.
