ron swansonI’m hungry and it’s time for some meat. Who better to get food advice than from the manliest man I know. Ron Swanson.

Ron Swanson is the man. No question. He knows food and he’s popped out some of the best food-related quotes to appear on TV in decades. The writers of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” have helped create one of the best characters on television.

NBC has complied a video of some of the best moments of Ron Swanson and his food obsession. The man who once gave us the line “Give me all the bacon and eggs you have,” and meant it, takes a look back at the meat tornado, the bacon-wrapped shrimp, Mulligan’s Steak House, the strip club breakfast buffet and the turkey burger. It’s a beautiful reflection.

You had me at meat tornado.

“Strippers do nothing for me. I like a strong, salt-of-the-earth, self-possessed woman at the top of her field: your Seffi Grafs, your Cheryl Swoopses… BUT, I will take a free breakfast buffet any time, any place.”
