Leo Burns is the new Comfort Food Cook-Off Coordinator in "Comfort Food". When he first meets Ned and Olive, he tells them his job requires him to be impartial, but that he was rooting for The Pie Hole. His bias was deeper than this, however. He came into this role with an agenda. A year before the competition, he discovered Colonel Likkin's Southern Fried Chicken, and quickly gained a substantial amount of weight from it. This led to obesity, diabetes, and night blindness. Burns took the position of Cook-Off Coordinator to get back at the Colonel. He did so by ramming Likken from behind with his electric scooter, knocking him first into the secret recipe batter, and then a second time into the deep fryer.
