It goes without saying that I eat these kinds of stories up. Heh.
From the Chicago Sun-Times:
“We believe that a candidate’s taste in food is a more reliable indicator of character than the carefully strained statements issued in this atmosphere of gotcha and gotcha back. So we have worked our sources and come up with the names of the candidates’ favorite restaurants in their home states. We have tried them out and assessed what an appetite for their offerings might mean about two men with a 50-50 chance at spending the next four years ordering meals from the White House chef.”
