I suppose I do.
My meals are sort of hard to categorize in accordance to traditional Western norms.
I eat when I wake up so I guess that qualifies as breakfast.
What do you usually eat?
And the moment I could afford to stop cooking, I stopped.
Most days I eat nothing except UberEats.
I also have a bad UberEats habit.
Its about a twice a day thing for me.
Today Im being good!
Im having a smoothie.
Thats actually my favorite breakfast.
Whats in your smoothie, if you dont mind me asking?
This one is a Greek yogurt smoothie from Smoothie King.
Its Chobani and blueberry, strawberry, some kind of protein enhancement.
It has probiotics and fruit.
Its pretty good, especially if youre used to the McMuffin route.
Do you drink coffee or tea?
Although lately, Ive kind of been relying more on energy drinks out of fears about teeth.
I just had my teeth whitened so Im trying to keep that up.
How do you usually take your coffee?
With milk or cream, no sugar.
I also like iced lattes and that kind of thing.
Do you drink them in the winter?
Yes, I totally do.
When you get the Egg McMuffin, do you usually get the hash browns?
McDonalds breakfastit really is, in my opinion, the best thing at McDonalds by far.
When they added the all-day breakfast, that was very helpful.
It changed my life.
Well it didnt change mylife.
It changed my relationship to McDonalds.
It made me a regular customer.
God, they completely control me.
Its a pretty difficult thing to turn down.
The choice is clear.
Do you usually have lunch or snack throughout the day?
I have sort of three meals, I guess.
Theres one when I wake up which is usually around11:00 a.m. is pretty typical around here.
Well thats just European.
Yeah, thats what we tell ourselves.
Can we see inside your fridge?
What do you usually eat for lunch, or is there a usual?
But usually though, if I want to eat somethinggood, I really love Indian food.
There are a lot of good places in Baltimore.
No, I do that.
Sometimes if I get Indian food the night before Ill eat it cold for breakfast the next day.
And sometimes you dont want to eat a giant thing of rice andtikka masalain one go.
Do you get naan?
Usually I dont, actually.
I dont know why when it comes to that Im suddenly like carbs!
I dont know why thats the line.
I just dont usually feel the need for it.
Theres already so much rice.
Ill order naan if Im with someone else because everyone else likes naan.
Its always garlic naan too.
And see, I like theKashmiri naan, the one that has fruits and nuts in it.
I like that one better.
But I eat it as a little dessert or something.
Do you like spicy food?
I cant get people to make it spicy enough.
So, heres where Im macho.
[Laughs] My favorite is goat curry.
In Baltimore there are a lot of Nepalese Indian places and they have this dishkhasi ko maasu.
And its a goat curry, bone-inlike a traditional butchery kind of thing.
I will order that and the order instructions will say extra spicy kindly, and interpretations of that vary.
Ive had it arrive with just a bunch of sliced up serrano peppers in it.
I do love a bone-in meat preparation.
I dont know why goat is my favorite, but it just is.
Its not something that I grew up eating.
But its apparently healthier for you in a lot of ways than other red meat.
I think goats are not factory-farmed in America.
Dont tell me if Im wrong.
I havent researched it so I cant I comment, but that seems correct.
Besides Indian food is there another spicy cuisine that you love?
So, Mexican, obviously.
I like getting tacos and things and hot sauce on them.
Sometime tacos for me are just a hot sauce carrier.
Do you have a favorite brand of hot sauce?
My favorite very spicy one that Ive tried is the theTabasco Scorpion Sauce.
I like Tabasco a lot, actually.
I like theTabasco Chipotle Sauce.
That ones not that spicy, but its flavorful and interesting.
What else do I like?
I likeValentina Extra Hot.
And I said I was machoits not really that macho.
Because I hate the culture around hot sauce, like give me the maximum, spiciest thing.
Its pointless to me, and a lot of these really, really hot saucesthey dont taste like anything.
Its just a chemical burn that youre adding to your food.
Or the Chipotle Tabasco is very smoky and vinegary, and it adds that to the food.
I know this isnt Mexican food, but I have to ask because Im garbage.
Do you ever eat at Taco Bell?
For some reason Taco Bell just doesnt resonate with me.
I just never got into it.
Its because youre a good person.
Im clearly becoming not a good person, though.
Its just accidental virtue, you know.
Its just accidental virtue, you know.
How is the Mexican food in Baltimore?
There are some good places.
When I go out, theres a place calledClavel, which is really, really good.
Thats the best place I know of in Baltimore.
I think the Mexican food is not as good as a lot of other cities.
I used to live in Chicago.
The things I really miss about about Chicago are really good Mexican food and a really goodpho.
Having lived in Chicago, do you have a pizza loyalty to them?
No, I dont.
Itsgood, but I dont know.
Does Baltimore have a style of pizza?
Not that Im aware of.
I dont think so.
I didnt know Connecticut had an anything!
They have that clam pizza which I have never heard of, and he was so offended.
Its a clam pizza?
Its like a white pie.
I dont think it has cheese on it.
Yeah, I dont know about that.
Might stick to New York on that one.
What toppings do you like on your pizza?
I especially love Hawaiian with jalapenos because of my spicy thing.
So you have ham, pineapple, jalapenos amazing.
Hawaiian pizza is good, actually.
Im very pro pineapple on pizza.
Well, its objectively correct.
Especially with a cured meat, like ham.
The sweet and the saltinessits good.
Its like wrapping slices of prosciutto around honeydew melon.
I love that as a snack.
But I tend not to snack all that much.
I know it sounds like I have a super high-calorie diet.
This is where Im making up the difference.
Im not someone who really eats chips or anything throughout the day.
If Im just living normally, I kind of dont.
I just dont have them in the house.
Do you have a movie theater snack?
My movie snack since I was eight is Raisinets.
I dont know why.
No one else likes them.
I like them!
Its the only format in which I really like a raisin.
Raisins need some help, clearly.
Do you get a soda?
I drink Diet Coke a lot.
Id get that at a movie.
Iwillsteal little pieces of someone elses popcorn but I dont usually order my own popcorn.
Its too big of a commitment.
Its a huge commitment, yeah.
I like the saltiness of it, but its just a lot offiber.
Its like doing work.
I dont want to work while Im at a movie.
And then if you get the butter, your hands are all greasy.
Its the same thing with Cheetos.
Im viscerally opposed to anything that leaves my hands covered in some kind of grease or powder.
I know people who eat Cheetos and popcorn with chopsticks for that reason.
Its a little extra.
Yeah, you have to bethatperson.
Am I really gonna bring a couple of metal chopsticks into a movie theater?
Ive been experimenting with this kind of thing.
Ive been using a parasol in the sun.
I mean thats on the same level.
Do you have a shame meal or a sad meal?
I tried and just cant do it.
Ive tasted the blood and now my body wants blood.
I dont know what to say.
Ive tasted the blood and now my body wants blood.
Well, its all about how you want to spend your time.
Well exactly, and Im very busy.
But the shame meals are so frequent.
Do I have a thing likethat?
Its okay if you dont.
Im thinking.Do I?Yeah, not really.
Theres some moderation here.
But in little ways it seems in control because Im not doing stuff like that.
But I love that for you.
Thank you so much.
Are you a burger person?
I like a good burger.
Its not my everyday thing but thats a good hangover meal for me.
Do you have a strong cheese preference?
Id say cheddar or pepper jack depending on what the burger is.
Do you like a thin burger or a thicker one?
Probably a thicker one, because I like it kind of medium rare.
That doesnt seem to happen with thin burgers.
What about french fries?
I love sweet potato.
Those are the fries I like.
Almost everyone says the fast food McDonalds-style french fry.
I appreciate the variety in answer.
Im not exactly a fan of the McDonalds fries.
The hash browns are amazing, but the fries I could kind of take or leave.
Do you go to diners ever?
Its kind of a historical part of Baltimores culture, actually.
I like going to diners especially if its late at night or something.
Do you have a go-to diner order?
It depends on the time of day.
Ill get a burger if its late at night, but I love breakfast at diners.
Pancakes, eggs, sausages, coffee.
Yeah, thats my favorite.
You feel like youre in a David Lynch movie or something, sitting in a diner drinking coffee.
I just have some kind of like primordial American association.
Speaking of American food: Do you eat hot dogs or corn dogs?
The best hot dog is the Chicago-style hot dog.
Which iswhat do they call it?dragged through the garden or some expression like that.
I think thats really good.
I guess I do like them.
Its kind of a joke in my videostheresa videowhere I eat like 16 of them in a sitting.
The only good way to get a corn dog is at carnival.
Its not really my vibe.
They dont get properly crunchy on the outside.
You want that freshly deep-fried batter.
Youre eating a piece of over-processed meat dipped in funnel cake batterthat experience is what I want.
Im not satisfied by a microwaved corn dog.
Its not really my vibe.
I do remember reading an article about this ballerina who ate microwaved corn dogs for breakfast.
I remember that too!
And I actually started eating corn dogs because of that!
I think it was like you’re free to eat a corn dog for breakfast and look likethat?
Speaking of videos, and stuff thats in your videos: Do you actually drink Champagne?
Its my favorite thing to drink.
Thats not a pretense for the videos.
I drink it on a regular basis, not just as a celebratory thing.
Its still my favorite.
Do you have a favorite producer?
Its like eleven dollars.
And then my favorite special occasion one isMoet, just whatever the regular one isthe Imperial Brut.
Thats the first thing I bought with my Pokemon money.
It felt pretty good.
Have you tried Veuve Clicquot?
Ive tried that, and I do like that a lot.
I know a lot of people like it more than Moet, but I dont.
I think because Moet is more buttery or something and Veuve is more citrusy.
Thats just my amateur taste description.
Im not a big wine person, so Ill just get whatever my snobby wine friends get.
Im like that too with most wines.
I related to that character a lot.
I related to her too.
I can understand completely not wanting to do anything about climate change or factory farming or whatever.
I completely understand that.
Are you a dessert person?
Sort of no, in that I eat dessert less than most people, I think.
I usually wont get it at restaurants.
That said, I love anything chocolate.
Chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate whateverI just love chocolate.
Do you like a dark chocolate or a milk chocolate?
Dark chocolate is the best.
Im really into like any kind of chocolate with salt in it.
Ill take a chocolate bar and Ill take Maldon and just…
Put the salt on the chocolate…thats such a good idea.
Or on ice cream.Salt on ice creamis actually really good.
Its been hard to kick, now that Ive gotten used to it.
Do you have a favorite flavor or brand?
Ben and Jerrys is the best that it’s possible for you to get in most stores.
Theres so much variety of texture within a single flavor.
I recently tried switching to a Halo Top, but I just dont really see the point.
I havent tried that stuff.
What does it taste like?
It doesnt really taste like ice cream.
It tastes like some kind of frozen, fibrous, air-puffed snack thats sort of related to ice cream.
I can see eating it if youre like, I really need to eat ice cream right now.
And then youre sort of going through the motions of eating ice cream without the sense of pleasure.
Its like smoking CBD oil when what you really want is weed.
