Food
A Meal Fit For A Candidate: Barack Obama

by Daniel Zwerdling

October 5, 2008 · Can we learn anything about the presidential candidates from what they like to eat? As a public service, NPR asked some of their favorite chefs to teach you how to cook the kind of food that graces the candidates' plates when they eat out.

When Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, want a special night out in Chicago, they often head for the award-winning Mexican restaurant Topolobampo. But don't equate the word "Mexican" with burritos and refried beans.

Chef Rick Bayless founded "Topolo," as locals call it, almost 20 years ago to prove to Americans that genuine Mexican cooking can be as sophisticated as French and Italian.

================================================

I gotta say, the Obamas have some damn good taste in food if this is the case. Topolo is the bomb.

....I guess I'm not surprised. :P

Gotta try it - looks really good.

What's wrong with good old-fashioned All Amurikin deep fried lard?

while in Chicago for some training. He said it was incredible!

I'm getting giddy...I just went and told him, "That restaurant you were telling me about in Chicago? It's Michelle and Barack's favorite! Tee hee!" Where's my copy of Tiger Beat?

How come he doesn't go to a real American restaurant, like Waffle House or Cracker Barrel?
