Jack Kerouac and comfort food

This article - "Kerouac Was a Comfort-Food Freak" - reminded me of the many entries in The Beat Handbook (Days 1, 17, 19, 24, 52, 54, and 57) about "the beat diet," which, of course, I culled from The Dharma Bums and On The Road. I've written about food on a number of occasions here on The Daily Beat as well. For example, the beat diet. Or Slumgullion and Slumgullion.

The beat diet is all about comfort food. Now . . . where did I put that box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese?

  1. Here in Pennsylvania, Giant Eagle (or Valu Time) brand of Mac & Cheese can be had for as little as 49 cents/box, thus even more comforting.

  2. Indeed! And it's just as tasty as Kraft. Probably made in the same factory and put in different packaging!

  3. I would wholeheartedly agree with you on that one!
