- I'm Nicole Byer and this is everything I eat in a day.
(bright music)
The first thing I do when I wake up
is take my ADD medication,
otherwise I will forget to take it.
A typical breakfast for me
if I'm like having a weekend in Palm Springs
and someone else is doing the cooking is,
I'm trying to think of what I ate last time
I was in Palm Springs.
So that was like bacon and eggs
and toast and we had bagels
and then I think a frittata, it was,
it was some sort of like thing in a thing.
I'm really killing it at explaining things.
A typical lunch for me is
I really like Nature Valley peanut bars,
and maybe like a La Croix.
My favorite La Croix flavor is peach pear,
a close second is coconut, 'cause it taste like sunscreen,
a third is pamplemousse, 'cause I like the way you say it.
So I'm a very big La Croix connoisseur.
I did not think I was someone who got hangry, but I am.
I get very irritable if I haven't eaten
'cause I don't eat in the mornings
'cause I don't like feeling super full
and then later I get very angry and upset.
A typical dinner,
so like lately I've been like cooking
these like Purple Carrot meals,
because I was like, I'm a vegan.
I'm not a vegan, but I like to claim it, I'm a vegan.
I'll make spaghetti and meat sauce with impossible meat.
I can't remember the name of the pasta sauce I use,
but it's like Joey's from Italy.
Yeah that's my favorite spaghetti,
spaghetti meat sauce.
If life were perfect and I had super powers
and I could travel
to different cities to get exactly what I want,
so in LA I would get a Howlin Ray's chicken sandwich,
because with no pickles,
because it is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had.
It's so (beep) good.
I would do cheese fries from this restaurant uptown
called Toast.
It is so good.
Also their mac and cheese is really good,
so I guess I'd get their mac and cheese too.
Also I would get a Caesar salad with chicken, bacon,
light on the croutons,
the dressing on the side,
I would get that from Toast too
and then I would head on over to Italy.
I would go to Rome, and I would get
Carbonara, not Carbonara,
yes is it Carbonara?
It's Carbonara.
So they make Carbonara there with egg yolk,
here they make it with cream,
incorrect and kind of disgusting,
but they use this egg yolk that they very
slowly like envelop into the pasta
and it gets this like bright yellowy, orangey color
and it is so good and delightful
and then they don't make it with bacon,
they make it I think with pancetta.
Oh, I can't remember the place where I got this pizza,
but it was so good, it was delightful.
I asked them for parmesan cheese and they flat out said no
because that is not the way it was meant to be eaten
and I said, okay that's fine.
Also, what's, what would I get for dessert?
I guess I'd wake my godmother,
my Aunt Bertha up from the dead
and I'd have her make me a sweet potato pie
'cause her sweet potato,
oh wait, was that my Aunt Bertha?
Who else do I have to wake up from the dead?
I don't know, one of the ladies
from the church I grew up in,
who might be dead, who might not be dead,
I would have them make me a sweet potato pie.
I hope I didn't kill off anyone,
I don't know if Miss. Odessa's still alive or not,
but that's the answer.
(laughing)
(beeping)
My go to snacks are
the little itty bitty Ritz Crackers with peanut butter.
They're hard to find, a lot of stores don't have them,
but Albertsons does.
Honey roasted peanuts are very good
and then Planters has these other peanuts
and they remind me of the peanuts
that you buy on the street in New York,
like the hot for you nuts, so I like those.
My favorite food city, I think is New York,
it's got the best food, truly it's so good,
but also Italy, I went to Rome
and truly everywhere we went was a dream,
like you would just sit down in a hole in the wall
and then they'd be like,
here's mozzarelle from the cows up north.
They serve food in a way where it's an art form,
so I guess I would say Rome and New York.
And that's what I eat in a day
and you can watch Nailed It on Netflix,
you can watch Wipe Out on TBS,
you could listen to my podcast Why Won't You Date Me,
Best Friends, 90 Day Bae on Patreon,
Newcomers with Lauren Lapkus,
and I think that's it, I think that's all I'm doing, yeah!
