So Levit, a college friend of yours once told me that your favorite meal during college

was a dill pickle, beef jerky and grape soda, is that true?

I did indeed have that for breakfast, but to tell you the truth, it sounded better before

I ate it than after.

Steve Levit, my Frekenomics friend and co-author, an esteemed economist at the University of

Chicago, has an extremely refined palate.

All right, so you got beef jerky, you got dill pickle.

What are your favorite foods?

What are your favorite places?

If you could drive across America and pick any place to stop any, what's it going to

be?

You know, I love the Billy Goat Tavern.

It's the cheap place that was made famous in the nineteen probably seventies on Saturday

night live with the cheap, cheap, and no Pepsi cup.

Anyway, they have incredible, revised egg sandwich.

Pretty much the cheaper the food the better.

There's almost no fast food that I don't adore.

It's OKFC.

Yeah, like KFC burgers.

Chipotle, kill for Chipotle.

So how would you describe your palate?

Underdeveloped.
