This no-carbohydrates thing has gone too far. It now has led to nudies. And I don’t mean the porno sites all over the Web.

A friend related the following story:
Drawing up to the end of the long line waiting at Portillo’s Hot Dogs drive-through window recently, she overheard several drivers ordering.
“Give me a nudie with the works,” one called into the speaker.
“I’d like a nudie with mustard and onion,” said another.
As she drew up to the speaker, she asked, “What’s a nudie?”
“It’s a hot dog, but hold the bun,” answered a voice.
When asked about the phenomenon, the manager explained, “Lots of people are on these low-carbo diets now. They don’t want buns!”
Then, the other day, a coupon came through the mail, good for one free burrito at Chipotle Mexican Grill. It was part of a promotion for the Bol.
Basically, a Bol is a burrito in a bowl instead of a tortilla.
What’s next? A BLT without the bread? Lox without the bagel? Carbonara without the pasta?
Please. Enough already.
