dude food 
The Dude Food Category was developed under these three notions about men.
1. Real men need food that builds muscle, strength and brain power.
2. Men are body-conscious. They like to eat foods that are filling but still healthy.
3. Working Dudes don’t want to fuss with a bunch of chopping and complicated food-making when they get home from battle. They want to eat within 20 minutes max and have minimal clean up afterwards.
These recipes are either fit for busy men to make for themselves or are wonderful ideas that a woman might like to cook up for her man.
