Interviewed by Garrett Snyder
The star of NBC’s Parks and Recreation, might be the hungriest man on Twitter.

People often think of their heavy dishes, but Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook make some really excellent lighter ones, like the hamachi tostada. If you balance the two, you won’t have to go home and pass out afterward.
Jitlada
I’ve become really close with Jazz, the chef-owner—she’s so sweet. [Holds up a picture of the two with a Photoshopped border of dolphins and ocean waves.] She always has a new Thai dish that she wants me to try.
Ricky's Fish Tacos
The fish tacos are so unbelievable, and Ricky’s the nicest guy. Everyone comes up and says, "Hi, Ricky!”
