Serena Williams' curiosity got the better of her on Wednesday, when she decided her dog's gourmet food was too tantalizing to pass up.
Williams is competing in the Italian Open, and is staying at a hotel that offers very fancy food for dogs. As she shared on Snapchat, Williams brought along her Yorkshire terrier, Chip, and after seeing the fancy beef meal he ate one night, she decided to sample his $18 salmon and rice dish. Williams knew her followers would judge her, so she shot a close-up of the meal — which did look just like salmon and rice barely mixed together — and exclaimed: "Look at it! It looked normal." Looks were deceiving, she continued, as the dish "tasted like house cleaner," and after one spoonful, she wound up taking several trips to the bathroom and felt sick to her stomach for hours.
