If you watch Portlandia, you've probably seen some parallels between the Oregon-centric show and our very own, precious Brooklyn. And now Brokelyn has started their own series, called Brokelandia, which brings us a Brooklyn-based version of the IFC show. The first one, below, is all about the food, with the characters discussing the borough's finer dining experiences—from Do or Dine's fois gras doughnut, to Dun-Well Doughnuts vegan faux gras doughnut ("I thought it needed more meat"), to that pumpkin off of Steve Buscemi's stoop.
