I have had the stomach flu this week — the bane of food writers and recipe testers everywhere — which means I haven’t spent much time in the kitchen. Instead, I’ve been slowly sipping sparkling water and wandering the outer reaches of my streaming services, only to land, once again, on a perennial favorite: “Baskets,” which gives me an excuse to finally tell you about one of my favorite television meals.
The FX comedy, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary earlier this year, stars Zach Galifianakis as Chip Baskets, an earnest, lovelorn dreamer trying to readjust to life in Bakersfield after an ill-fated stint at clown school in France. It’s one of the funniest shows ever made. It’s also one of the saddest.
