As if his humor wasn’t enough, Jimmy Fallon has found a place for culinary commentary in late-night comedy. Numerous chefs have joined him on The Tonight Show, he introduced Blake Shelton to sushi, he has his own Ben & Jerry’s flavor, and he even dressed one of his daughters as Ramen noodles for Halloween. “Thank You Notes” is one of his most popular bits, and it often involves hilarious food observations. Here are a few of his best:
