00:00The moment of something in New York goes viral, it stops being great.
00:05Okay, lay it on me.
00:06It's called Big Wong.
00:08You have to get their roast pork and chicken over rice, and it's like $9.
00:13It's great.
00:15Probably McDonald's.
00:16It's always the same.
00:17When I was a little kid, I wasn't allowed to have McDonald's.
00:19And now I'm old, I can't really eat McDonald's.
00:21It makes you violently ill because no one should eat McDonald's.
00:23But it holds a special place in my heart.
00:25Uniquely American.
00:26What are they called?
00:27The gooey nerds clusters?
00:30Best airplane snack.
00:31I mean, has there ever been a viral food that's actually worth it?
00:35The moment of something in New York goes viral, it stops being great.
00:40Joe's Pizza is still decent.
00:41I have a very specific pre-race fuel, especially for the New York City Marathon.
00:45I get like these sort of thick pita things.
00:48Peanut butter, jelly, two of those.
00:51Dynamite fuel.
00:52After the marathon, your body needs calories, but you are not hungry.
00:56And last year after the marathon, we went out to this great Mexican restaurant.
01:00And I was kind of fading like this.
01:02And my wife caught me.
01:03She had them rush over a Coke, which was a Mexican Coke, which is really good in a glass bottle.
01:07And I had to drink that to like bring me back to life.
01:10So best post-marathon food is probably Mexican Coke.
01:14Jeremy Jacobowitz, I think is how you pronounce his last name.
01:16He gets more into the niche foods, but he really cares.
01:19Great.
01:20This is biased because it has to do with proximity, but Lucia's on Canal and West Broadway.
01:25It's cheap.
01:26It's good.
01:27There's almost never a line.
01:28Great slice of pizza.
01:29Late night go-to meal in New York City is probably bodega chopped cheese, which always
01:34means waking up with a stomachache.
01:35You should never eat that before bed, but it's always fantastic.
01:37Fantastic.
