Breakfast With The SJG

At her home in Sherman Oaks, CA, kvetching guru/kugel maker the SJG treats all of the staff who tend to her palatial estate to breakfast every morning. Why? "Because I'm a giver," she said in an exclusive interview with Goldie Goldberger, host of "What's Nu By You?", a new podcast that's getting great reviews. The noshes tend to vary depending on the SJG's mood. On a recent morning, she made prune kreplach with a splash of Mogen David, to get the system going. Did it work? "A little too well," she told Goldie. "They spent the entire day evacuating. Nobody ran a vacuum, nobody polished the silver. We learn from our mistakes. I had to do some serious re-thinking. The next morning, I went with a nice bagel with a nice schmear and a nice slice of Nova Scotia and got very high ratings and great reviews, the best ever in the history of breakfast. Better to make the people who schlep and toil for you happy, as opposed to miserable and riot-prone." In addition to the bagel buffet, the SJG recently added something special. "Now and then, I like to surprise the staff with an ice cold borscht to go with.  It's very tasty, everybody loves the borsht, the borsht gets great reviews and very high ratings," she said, adding, "although it does tend to stain the teeth, so afterwards, I offer a chaser of Chlorox. As I said, I'm a giver."
