Bacon Brodey: Back in the Habit

Due to my insatiable love for all things bacon, my grandpa nicknamed me “Bacon Brodey” when I was a kid— much to the chagrin of my dad & jews everywhere.

But here it is, friends, the piece de resistance: Maple Glazed Bacon Donut from Nickel Diner.

Nickel Diner, 524 S Main St, Los Angeles, CA 90013

“No Self Respectin’ Southerner Uses Instant Grits.”

Luckily, I am neither Southern nor self respecting, because I LOVE instant grits. Every family visit my sweet-as-pie Alabama born Grandpa makes us Brodey kids what he calls the “truck-driver breakfast” of eggs, bacon, biscuits & grits — leaving me addicted to that simple, grainy, & clumpy hominy-based porridge.

The second best thing about eating grits is all the My Cousin Vinny references eating them elicits. God Bless you Mr. Vincent Gambini (Uh…did you just say “Yutes”?)

I eat mine with salt, pepper, egg yolk, & tabasco.

Go get yours at 101 Coffee Shop: 6145 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles, CA

Someones Trying to Kill me!!!!!! …..With Kindness (and Chicken)?

Although I was eating with 4 other people, I’m the only one who got a warning written out in spices on my entree plate. Was i rude to the waitress? Were they still mad that I arrived a mere 5 minutes late?

Either way, I’m relieved that the cryptic dinner message didn’t read “Curly Haired Girl Sleeps with the Fishes” — but I really should’ve written them a little note back that read, “Over-Salting is a Crime.”

Sorry, Rivera, Death-Threat-Dinner is a no-go.

Finally, a food related meme to post. Wrth the w8.

best one so far.

I used to see the actor Adam Brody pretty often at Canter’s Deli. Now, I usually just see Josh Brodey. Upgrade?

Weird Thing I Eat: Lean Brisket, Horsradish, Avocado, Baked Beans, on Rye Bread.

Hurt So Good.

Sometimes, nothings better than a good cry. No, not from an emotional outpour of feelings— but from the fiery nose-running eye-watering tingle of an unbelievably spicy snack.

Exhibit A: Sliced new potatoes sauteed with jalapenos & carrots in escabeche.

Pick a Little, Talk a Little.

We have a snack jar of wheat thins at my office that is refilled daily, but I only eat the extra baked ones that are dark brown on at least 2 edges. Some days this leaves with maybe 2 or 3 crackers to eat, tops.

What are your weird/picky eating habits?

Movin’ On Up.

I know that my intense love of Mongolian BBQ is unsophisticated. Luckily, the stir fry “mix-in” options at Gobi now includes Asparagus — the classiest veggie of them all.  Working class noodles never had it so good.

[My best bowl: 1 part noods/meats/veggies, 4 parts waterchestnuts, lots of Sriracha.]

WEIRD THING I EAT #3: Tuna, Dijonaise, Pickle Relish, Sambal Oelek (Huy Fong Chili Paste)
