Adam Scott Is Constantly ‘Haunted’ by This ‘Parks and Recreation’ Running Gag

Many iconic fictional characters have a favorite food. Garfield loves lasagna, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles eat nothing but pizza, and Popeye derives super-strength from spinach, thanks to Depression-era government propaganda.
As every Parks and Recreation fan is well aware, Adam Scott’s character, Ben Wyatt, similarly has a go-to preferred meal: calzones.
Ben’s fascination with calzones began when he lost his job in Season Four and took it upon himself to try some new culinary skills (and borderline offensive Italian pronunciations). Sadly his vision for a chain of calzone-focused fast food restaurants, the “Low-Cal Calzone Zone,” never actually came to fruition.
Ben subsequently became a vocal advocate for the cheesy dough, and once used his calzone-making talents to enter a baking contest, even donning a calzone-themed apron for the event — much to the ire of a gang of men’s rights activists.
