The Top 9 Cheese Moments On "Parks And Recreation"

The citizens of Pawnee love cheese. A lot. In honor of this week's Season 6 premiere, we've put together the 9 best cheese moments from the show.

9. Ron, establishing early he would rather the government be privatized.

Season 1, Pilot:

Ron: "I’ve been quite open about this around the office: I don’t want this parks department to build any parks, because I don’t believe in government. I think that all government is a waste of taxpayer money. My dream is to have the park system privatized and run entirely for profit by corporations, like Chuck E. Cheese. They have an impeccable business model. I would rather work for Chuck E. Cheese."

8. Burly delivers Andy the cold, hard truth.

Season 5, Episode 21: “Swing Vote”

Andy: “I was just over at the bar, enjoying a wonderful night with my co-workers, who all talked about how awesome I was, and I looked up and what do I see? My band. But you’re missing something like, uh, I don’t know, your lead singer-slash-song writer-slash-t-shirt designer-slash-nacho chef. What’s up?!"

Burly: “First of all your nachos are terrible. No one’s had the guts to tell you. Why don’t you melt the cheese?”

7. Tom's place is girl heaven.

Season 4, Episode 19: “Live Ammo”

Ann: “He’s deeply in debt, but you know what, who cares! Check it out, cheese plate and Adriatic figs! Leslie, this is always here! I don’t know when he has time to make it!”

6. Andy's bucket list is spot on.

Season 4, Episode 6: “End of the World”

Andy: “Catch a winning Super Bowl touchdown! Make the most amazing grilled cheese sandwich EVER! Remake 'Kazaam' with Shaquille O'Neal but this time "get it right"! Outrun a hippo! Scoff at people as they walk by your seat in first-class! “

5. Tom, treat yo self.

Season 1, Episode 4 “Boys' Club”

Leslie: “They made a statue of you. Wow. Is that... goat cheese?”

Danish Town Honoree (Heidi Klum): “Good cheese eye Leslie. It is made out of goat cheese. We have a lot of it. And after tonight ‘s event, they’re gonna consume me with crackers.”
