Is there really any better combination than Rachel Bloom and a piping hot bowl of matzo ball soup?
The “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” creator/star posed for her feature story in the latest Playboy Magazine at Canter’s Deli, the landmark eatery in Los Angeles.
The actress is pictured sitting in a deli booth, holding a bubbly soft drink, surrounded by a pastrami sandwich (natch) and matzo ball soup.
Bloom was pretty excited about the location of the shoot, tweeting that all the food had been swiftly eaten.

Her mother, Shelli Bloom, who often proudly posts magazine shots of her daughter, also uploaded a picture of the issue—and expressed happiness that “it’s only the pages being spread.”
“Crazy Ex-Girlfiend” returns in all its wonderful quirkiness October 21 on The CW.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
