Last week, Jeremy Lin held his fourth annual fan appreciation event, answering questions in a Facebook Live session. I tuned in and learned The O.C. was his favorite show in college, he plans on braiding his hair on a regular basis with the Brooklyn Nets this season, and I also learned Lin, who gave Asian-American sports fans the best stretch of their lives with Linsanity, in his own words, hates all soups.

Hold on. Lin really said no to coffee (whatever), tea (what?), ramen (why??), and pho (how???). And he said it with so much conviction, you knew right away it wasn’t not an on-the-fence thing. He’s got his mind pretty made up on the matter of hot soup items. On Twitter, the response to Lin ranged from “I’m so conflicted right now” to “This is why they say never meet your idols” to “heartbreaking” to “I’m gonna need you to delete this and let’s all collectively pretend this never happened.”

Now, Lin’s revelation ranks somewhere in between I wish I liked both co-hosts on a podcast so the entire thing was listenable for me AND I might have created so many different passwords for each login I now remember none of them including the answers to every skill-testing question, but based on information gathered from a series of interviews, Facebook Q&As, and a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, this is what we know about Lin’s relationship with Asian food and food in general:

● His three favorite foods are sushi, steak, and seafood. Some variation of the latter two would look great on a bowl of pho.

● A photo of Jeremy Lin at a pho restaurant in Salt Lake City from 2013 exists, although it’s more likely he ordered a bánh mì instead.

● His preferred restaurant in Los Angeles is Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles. His favorite spot in New York is Sushi of Gari. His favorite type of sushi is seared salmon. He really liked the bacon-wrapped pizza at Little Caesars. He’s admitted several times he cannot resist In-N-Out Burger.

● He likes his boba milk tea with passionfruit juice, he enjoys mango shaved ice and likes to put sriracha sauce on his eggs.

● When asked about his favorite Chinese food, Lin responded: “My mom’s Chinese cooking (she makes this awesome pastry, the best fried rice, and this amazing carrot dish). But even I can’t turn down a Panda Express meal every once in a while.”
