Aziz Ansari Eats Food

by | September 8th, 2011

Aziz Ansari is a known food obsessive, so for fashion week he's gone out to a bunch of restaurants with makeup artist Annamarie Tendler to show off their joint loves of food and fancy clothes. The first installment, which has them hitting up Brooklyn's Roberta's, just makes me hungry.
