S0310 - Soulmates with Ken Whittingham

Live from Pawnee: A Parks and Recreation Fan Rewatch Podcast

This week, Mark and Allen break down the Episode that introduces Tom's crazy names for food and drink items! Acting City Manager Chris enacts a new health initiative and bans red meat from the commissary. Upset by this, Ron challenges Chris to a burger cook-off, cow vs turkey, with red meat staying if Ron wins. Chris meticulously gathers ingredients for the perfect turkey burger from his favorite health food market, Grain 'N Simple, while Ron simply buys a pound of red meat from Food and Stuff. Meanwhile, Leslie invites Ben to dinner, but is surprised when he turns her down. Ann convinces Leslie to join HoosierMate.com, and her profile finds a 98 percent match! They are horrified and confused to discover... it's Tom! We ask the tough questions so you don't have to, such as ... Why did Ben turn Leslie down? Can Chris' turkey burger wow the judges with its "umami flavor"? How in the world did Tom match with Leslie? Does Ron allow ketchup on his burger? Who will win the cook-off? Will Tom stop teasing Leslie, or will she kill him to death? Order yourself some chicky-chicky-parm-parm, relax in your favorite comfy chair, and enjoy this episode with us folks... it's a great one! Many thanks to our magnificent sponsor, Food And Stuff.
