The sheer meatiness of the smell is off-putting, but as soon as the broth hits my tongue, I'm a believer. It's a little disconcerting to be served soup in a coffee cup, particularly because as you tip the cup to your mouth, your nose is essentially infused with soup. Here are some sample conversations I overhear from the customers in front of me:ĭespite my skepticism, it's so cold outside I can't feel my hands, so as I get up to the window, I start to get really excited about a warm cup of broth. Brooklyn, I feel like I don't even know you anymore. Why isn't there a bone broth bar in Brooklyn yet? Pffft. I take the subway from my apartment in Brooklyn back to Brodo, where I stand in line and try not to feel silly. When I tell him he's basically Gwyneth Paltrow, he looks surprised: "I haven't heard that one." I tell him to take it as my highest compliment. Now at the epicenter of the trend, he says he fully believes in all the purported health benefits, and drinks "tons of it every day." "It's my version of comfort food," he says. Canora tells me he started drinking broth regularly as part of an overall shift toward a healthier lifestyle, after being rough on his body for decades.

You can make it with any animal bones - beef, chicken, turkey, whatever - which you roast and then simmer with vegetables for hours. Here's the deal: Bone broth is just dressed-up stock. (I'm a person who has a hard time eating blood sausage, based solely on the name.) But then I kept hearing about it, again and again, from food bloggers, wellness sites, and overall trendspotters like the ones here at TODAY, who answered the critical question back in December 2014: "What the heck is bone broth?" I didn't know what it was, just that it sounded a little anatomically graphic and a little gross. The first time I heard the words "bone broth" I wrinkled my nose, scrunched up my face, and thought "What? Ew.
