NBC's Brian Williams Loves Food Courts

Brian Williams ponders something -- perhaps what to have for lunch
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams travels a lot. He's always on a plane or in the back of a cab, which makes it pretty hard to eat healthy. Combine this with is non-adventurous eating habits -- his mom's goulash was one can SpaghettiOs with one half-pound ground chuck, he's never used chopsticks, and despite his worldwide jet-setting, he's never tried Ethiopian or Korean food -- and you've got a guy who loves a good food court.

"I will do a slice at Sbarro, or I'll go to A&W -- their cheeseburgers are underrated, and need I say more about a cold mug of frosty root beer?" says Williams. "Cinnabon exhaust fumes have a hold over me like crack cocaine would over an addict." And while the friendly Arby's, Cracker Barrel, or Waffle House signs scream his name, he is making progress on the nutritious eating front -- he once drank whole milk but now favors 1%. Hey, it's a start.
