The governor’s time in office is coming to an end. Like any guy who knows he’s about to get kicked out of a Golden Corral, Ron DeSantis is spending his final minutes traveling the state in an attempt to get as full as humanly possible.

Since January, the governor has been rolling out a short social media series called “Diners, Drive-ins & DeSantis.” The clips seem to simultaneously allow restaurant owners to praise Ron for his non-existent COVID policies, and also allow the governor to lick his fingers in a safe space.

The three-to-four minute videos are posted on Ron’s official X and Meta accounts and typically start with a boisterous theme song from a non-descript country singer. “Down in sweeeeet Floridaaaa, our governor is red, white and bluuuuue,” blares the title music, while a list of our DeSantis’ favorite delicacies—– sandwich, pizza, burger, pasta, burritos, hot-dogs, nachos—scroll across the screen. A map of Florida then appears showing where Ron will gorge next.

According to the News Service of Florida, so far the governor has been fed “‘Jesus Chicken’ with Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd at Tom’s Chicken Shack in Bartow, stone crabs at Kathi’s Krab Shack in Steinhatchee, roast pork and a Cuban sandwich at Arco Iris Café in Tampa, classic meatloaf, chicken and pie at Yoder’s Amish Restaurant in Sarasota, and seafood at S.S. Wreck & Galley Grill in Marathon.”

“Whoa. You guys would like this. Oh man,” DeSantis said to an off camera staff after taking a mouthful of a “traditional Amish recipe chocolate cake” at Yoder’s. “Yeah, that’s legit. My kids would eat all this. I know that.”

The man knows his food, and it truly is remarkable to watch how efficiently Ron can house a conch fritter. But as of now, it would appear the governor has not reached his limit. Just today, another episode of “Diners, Drive-ins & DeSantis” was released, this time highlighting a spot in the Florida Keys, where the owners fed him tuna poke nachos and peppered him with compliments regarding his stance on “medical freedom.”

“I will tell you,” said Ron, “Those nachos… I would give ten out of ten.”
