You might know him from his hilarious work on Parks and Rec and his massively successful stand-up tours, but specialty coffee baristas around America know Aziz Ansari as “that guy who asked for an outrageous drink.” During at least one of several recent espresso bar stop-offs on his comedy tour, Mr. Ansari did explicitly order the following:
