Okay?

Mhm.

The first thing I do when I wake up is look at my phone.

It's a really bad habit that I'm trying to work on after I do that I have, like, weird eating habits.

I think a lot of times people think that when you're in food, you eat really well.

But it's actually the complete opposite.

When I was a line cook, I usually didn't eat anything until after my shift, and then I would go to the bodega and have a like a six pack of beers and a sandwich, a bunch of potato chips.

So now I'm trying to eat like a person.

So the first thing I dio I make a glass, a weird mixture of like adapted Jin's and things that are supposed to be good for you.

So I'll have a warm glass of water with the whole lemon squeezed into it.

Some freshly grated ginger and turmeric, black pepper like ash, Lagonda route, maca powder, college in and CBD oil.

I chucked that it's pretty disgusting, but I don't know.

I think it makes me feel better even if it doesn't and it's a placebo, it's doing something.

I think I alternate between coffee and matchup.

It kind of depends on how I'm feeling in the morning.

If I'm really tired, I'll have some coffee.

Black coffee.

I usually do French press.

I have terrible taste and coffee.

I get whatever is free.

There's always a bag of coffee somewhere, and I don't have a coffee grinder.

I usually get it ground, or I have been known to put it in invited prep and blitz it up.

This is a total no, no.

Anyone who drinks coffee will tell you this is not how you have coffee, but it.

Most mornings.

I don't actually need that much caffeine, and I just like to have a little Macha.

I feel like it's a much like chiller way to start the day.

I get this Macha Latin mix that already has a little coconut milk powder and coconut sugar.

It's super easy because it doesn't clump, and it's creamy and perfectly sweeten and totally ready to go.

So that's usually my morning beverage of choice.

If I'm hungry, maybe I'll have breakfast.

I usually don't if I'm just like a little bit hungry.

I like to have a little chicken bone broth.

If I know I'm gonna have a really busy day and I'm not gonna have time to eat.

Then I'll have a smoothie.

It's not a delicious smoothie so far.

I'm not having anything delicious.

It's a It's a nutritious smoothie.

So I'd like to have a little calf fear like a whole bunch of kale.

All the dog, the dog.

She's making so much noise.

Okay, All right.

My smoothie cafe is a fermented dairy product.

It's, Ah, little bit fizzy.

It has the body of buttermilk with a milder tang, and I really like it because it's horrible.

So I don't have to deal with, like digging yogurt out of a spoon, because in the morning I'm super lazy.

I'll do like a whole bunch of kale.

It's way too much, kale.

This is This is not taste good like literally a bunch.

And then I'll do some tahini.

Some dates pea protein and wait, not wait.

Protein.

What are they called?

Hemp.

Hemp?

Ah, little pea protein and the little hemp protein.

Blitz that up.

It does not taste good, but it keeps me full.

That's movie will carry me through the day.

I have to start the day of really healthy because it just it just evolves.

It gets really bad really fast, Like right now.

Holiday season.

I'm developing.

So Maney cookies.

We got shortbread happening Toffee pound cake and I have to taste it.

I probably would have to taste as much as it as I do, but it's really hard to stop, you know, like delicious poundcake right out of the oven.

So that's why I start really healthy, because it just goes down the tubes.

If I'm shooting, then it ends up being a more normal day.

I normally don't stop for lunch, but when I work with Babish from the Babish Colony universe Andrew Ray, they always have lunch.

The first few shoots, I was like, No, I'm not having lunch, but they kind of forced it on me, so I usually have lunch with them.

The thing we get the most is probably Sweetgreen, a salad with sweet potatoes, beans, tofu.

It's really healthy.

It just like, slow me down.

I feel like I feel like lunch is like a fairly inefficient thing.

If I'm developing recipes I usually end up snacking on that.

If I'm writing, then I make snacks and then it gets a little more exciting.

I really like popcorn.

I think I have the best method for popping popcorn.

There's some tools involved.

I grab it.

I have it.

Hold on, we're at home.

This is the benefit.

Okay, so this is a worldly pop.

It's super lightweight.

The spindle deal that that you crank.

It's gonna keep the colonel's moving so it's gonna heat up really evenly.

But also it's gonna help the steam escape, and then I douse it in seasoning.

My favorite is nutritional yeast, kosher salt, dried dill, pepper, sugar, just a pinch garlic powder and onion powder.

What's that up?

And it's like cool ranch vibes.

It's really good.

I like most things.

When I first started getting into cooking, I was actually a super super super picky eater.

I didn't actually like meat at all, but I didn't wanna be biased, and I wanted to be able to develop all kinds of recipes.

So I made a point to eat everything, and now I don't think there's anything I don't like.

Ever since working from home, I feel like you just kind of working around the clock eso dinner Could be Sometimes I'm done working at, like, six.

Sometimes I'm done working at eight.

Um, what I eat really varies too.

If I had a big day of recipe testing and there's a bunch of food, I'll just eat that and I really don't enjoy it.

I hate eating something I've been working on all day.

I can't just, like, let all that go away.

So I end up eating a lot of that.

It's purely sustenance.

I often get take out.

My favorite place to get take out is uncle boons.

Is it Uncle Bones or Uncle Boons?

Sister?

All right.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

So my favorite place to get take out his Uncle Boone.

Sister, it's Thai food.

It's kind of Thai food.

I wouldn't call it tie, but my favorite thing there is the papaya salad.

A normal papaya salad.

Traditionally, it's like pounded together with the fish sauce.

Dried shrimp, palm sugar they make there's a little bit different.

It's more of like a coleslaw.

The papaya and carrots are all shredded, and then you get your dressing peanuts and then you toss it at home.

That's totally not the traditional way, but I really like it because it's more crisp, and then they also sell something that they call larb.

Larb is traditionally like a minced meat salad.

This isn't large bottle.

It's chicken nuggets.

It's an excuse for me to eat chicken nuggets and not feel like a child.

It's basically chicken nuggets with the spicy gingery sauce and cucumbers on the side.

There's another place called Han Dynasty.

They have really good sexual on food.

I'll get some vegetable fried rice I really like.

They're steamed bok choy.

But then my favorite dish.

There's basically another variation of chicken nuggets thes twice fried chicken bits that are then coated in like sexual peppercorns and chili oil.

It's got it all.

But once again, it's just like another way to eat chicken nuggets, I guess on the weekdays, I just like, don't want to deal with anything too difficult, you know, you just want shove some nuggets in your face and call it a day.

I live in Manhattan, but I think my favorite food cities L.

A.

I grew up in L.

A.

You can get the best tacos and then turn around and get the best fuck and then get the best sushi in like a shopping mall right next to the Albertsons, you'll find spectacular sushi.

It has a ton of affordable, great options that I don't think you get anywhere else.

If I do cook at home during the week, it's super simple.

I like to do a lot of like spreads that are, like kind of D.

I.

Y.

One of my favorites is to make hand rolls, so I'll make a pot of rice, toast up your nori sheets and then pull out some pickles.

Right now, we're really, really obsessed with these Japanese pickles called New Kazoo K.

It's fermented in rice brand.

They're really a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, a little hint of funk.

So you just like, have a pot of rice toasted nori.

Pull out some of those pickles, little soy little wasabi and then stick.

Whatever you've got in there like cook a piece of salmon, skin side down, flip it over and just kiss it.

Put that in your handles.

Oh, that's really good.

We get a little crazy on the weekend.

My husband is also a chef.

So we do like really crazy meals like a full spread of Spanish tapas make our own Pappas Rafa's Gamba's Allah Geo.

Pick up some really good cheese.

Make a Spanish tortilla, maybe go for some like croquettes.

It'll end up becoming like 15 things on the table, and we spent all day cooking it, and then we'll spend all evening eating it so the weekends get really fun.

I wanna have dessert after every meal.

I'm trying to control myself and just have it for dinner, and my favorite dessert is ice cream.

My parents have a nice cream store, and I grew up around that.

So a little bit of ice cream at the end of the night, for me is perfect.

My favorite ice cream is by Jenny's.

All of her ice cream is Philadelphia style, so there's no egg yolks.

It's just milk and cream, so I really love her.

She has one that's like, What is it?

Huckleberry Bramble Berry Triple berry pot.

So it's a vanilla ice cream with a swirl of bramble berry and like crumble in there so it feels like a whole desert.

My favorite flavor that she ever made his discontinued its called Supermoon, and it was a violet flavored ice cream swirled with marshmallow flavored ice cream.

It was really floral and delicate, and I think I'm the only person in the world that liked it.

But I was really sad that that's gone.

Jenny, if that comes back, please send me a pint.

So that's everything I eat in the day.

Thanks for watching.
