“My bodega order? Well, first of all, I’m not in the city, but if I did have a bodega order: peach Snapple, purple Doritos, and that’ll be an everything bagel with egg and cheese, hashbrowns, spicy mayo,” Brunson said. “Toasted.”
Doritos commented on the post: “Everyone is better than purple doritos until it’s time to be better than purple doritos,” in reference to a similar quote about Brunson that says, “Everyone is better than Jalen Brunson until it’s time to be better than Jalen Brunson.”
People across New York have taken to ordering the “Brunson egg and cheese,” with several bagel shops beginning to offer Brunson’s order as a menu item on a blue and orange Knicks bagel.
