- What's up, y'all, this is Jack Harlow
and this is everything that I eat in a day.
(upbeat music)
(sighs) How do I start my day?
Eggs, baby, eggs with the veggies in 'em
and the seasoning on 'em and the turkey in 'em.
Not a coffee drinker, I had coffee
maybe three times in my life.
I like Throat Coat, I like to coat my throat.
I like lemon in it, I like honey in it,
I like anything that's good for my throat.
So, prior to quarantine, I was not really somebody
that ate in super often.
I'm a restaurant type of guy, so it's been
a bit of an adjustment for me.
You know, I don't buy cars,
I don't buy a ton of jewelry, I don't buy a ton of clothing.
I like meal made by someone else
with people I love so that's just my luxury.
Now that that's been taken away,
given the situation, I've been eatin'
in the house a lot more.
It's a lot of scrambled eggs,
it's a lot of turkey sandwiches, peanut butter, bananas,
cereal on repeat, got cereal on repeat.
Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds in it,
Raisin Bran Crunch.
You know, honestly, I'm from Louisville, Kentucky,
and we have some delicacies of our own up there
and I'm just gonna run 'em off
'cause I gotta show love to the hometown
and I want you all to put 'em in there.
Morris Deli, a staple in Louisville, Kentucky,
Bunz Burgerz, Panchitos, look up Panchitos.
It's on Bardstown Road.
We'd get it every time we were in the city.
Santa Fe, 2nd Street.
Closer to campus, gotta go to Santa Fe.
Know what, go to Qdoba.
Qdoba's a national chain but people don't know
the most profitable Qdoba in the U.S.
is on the corner of Bardstown Road
and Eastern Parkway in Louisville, Kentucky,
and on weekends, it's open late.
We'd be in there sloshed. (laughs)
Yeah, Louisville's kinda like a foodie town,
so I won't recommend Louisville, but aside from that,
I've had good food in Portland, Oregon,
New York always serves.
L.A. I enjoyed, but they're just
so health-conscious out there, it's like
they've lost all the soul.
And nothing's open late I feel like in L.A.
Atlanta's a great food city, for real.
The wings down here are ridiculous.
The Waffle Houses on every block, open all night.
You ever heard of an Ale-8-One?
It's a Kentucky ginger ale, peep that.
It's meant to say a late one.
So I like ginger ale.
You know, they got me on the Seagram's right now,
I've been drinking Seagram's.
But, as I've said in other interviews,
big water guy, big water guy over here.
We also been on the juice wave since quarantine started,
lotta cranberry, lot of lemonade-type juices.
Tryin' to stop any kidney stones from goin' down.
My dad used to get up in the middle of the night,
like one a.m., and I'd see him in the kitchen
just drinkin' from the cranberry jug.
I'm like, "Why are you always on that?"
He's like, "I won't get a kidney stone,
"I tell you that."
So, since then, I have been tryin'
to stop kidney stones from happenin'.
When I got checked for Corona, which came back negative,
she put the thing on my arm to check my blood pressure.
I've been takin' too much sodium in, my blood pressure
was a little higher than normal.
And I told her I've been eatin' a lot of ranch.
So I've given up ranch during quarantine.
So, at the start of quarantine,
I bought a treadmill and I was goin' crazy
on the treadmill every day.
Exercise is important to me,
but I just seem to do it in phases.
There's no tellin' if I'll ever get into shape
in my life, actually, but, I'd like to think I will.
A lot of times I'll go to the studio
and, when I go to the studio,
I was on, for a while, probably about two, three weeks,
I was on a mean, dangerous cheesesteak streak,
eatin' a cheesesteak every day.
Covered in ranch, drenchin' it in ranch.
And it didn't seem like a big issue to me
until my engineer Nicky pointed out to me,
he's like, "You know, red meat is bad
"for you after a while."
And it's somethin' I'd heard before,
but I hadn't been thinkin' about it
and I actually didn't even put together
that it is red meat.
I had to cut that out, too.
But I was on a mean cheesesteak run,
I love cheesesteaks, so cheesesteak
was a huge lunch ritual for me,
especially in the studio.
My palette's expanding, you know.
When I was in New York, DJ Drama, when we were at the hotel,
we got some yellowtail.
And that was my first time havin' it
and then he had me try some sushi
and now I like sushi for the first time,
now I'll eat sushi.
Yeah, I'll snack.
I love chips.
I'm not much of a candy guy, I like savory things.
I like Garden Salsa Sun Chips.
I like Spicy Nacho Doritos.
But I had to give them up.
My (bleep) was ablaze too many times.
Now I punish myself every blue moon.
Dinner could be anywhere from six p.m. to midnight.
Studio life seems to always end up bein' Sarpino's Pizza.
This pizza down here, it's a hidden gem.
Some of the best pizza I've ever had.
In my prime, or even in, you could say my darkest days,
I was eatin' eight slices.
Runnin' through 'em, I'm tellin' ya, so.
What do we eat that we're just disgusted with ourselves
but it's so cray?
Chick-fil-A's a cheat meal,
despite how terribly I'm already living.
It's a cheat meal nonetheless
because it immediately just makes me slower and tired.
It's got big-itis in it.
I feel like Cinnabon is the perfect example
of somethin' that you just gave up that day.
I never feel good about myself after I finish one of those.
Food is so much like sex to me.
And you can tell how healthy my relationship
with sex must be.
I'm tellin' you, it's so regretful sometimes.
(sighs) A grilled cheese.
And I really haven't even mastered how to do it.
We don't have a spatula, so we do a lot of cooking in here.
I will literally make a grilled cheese
with two big ass knives. (laughs)
Stab at it and keep turnin' it over, meltin' the cheese.
- [Producer] I noticed some knife marks on the pan.
(both laugh)
- Ain't a lot of snacking goin' on in here
and it's probably for the better.
I don't know, I be puttin' my retainers in
at midnight, so to me that's like closin' up shop.
I don't be back in the kitchen after that.
Like I said, this is Jack Harlow,
and that's everything I eat in a day.
Thanks for watching.
