Bronny James seemingly uninfluenced by LeBron James' Taco Tuesday gig as he reveals his go-to food
LeBron James' son, Bronny James, is someone the fans are eager to learn more about as he pursues his dream of making it to the NBA. In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, he shared some personal interests, and in a surprising take, he revealed that unlike his dad, he isn't a fan of Tacos.
When asked if he enjoyed Taco Tuesdays, the athlete laughed and replied:
"Nah, not at all actually."
Instead, he said that his favorite food is a New York steak. He also mentioned that pesto and chicken pasta from Bossa Nova are his favorite takeout meals.
For context, his dad, LeBron, is a big fan of tacos. He's gone viral numerous times when he posted videos of his family eating tacos and yelling the phrase "Taco Tuesday." Bronny was also part of that meme from the LA Lakers star that most fans are familiar with.
