Food, Delaware and D.C.

Some random thoughts on the ceremony that just concluded on the steps of the U.S. Capitol:

Aretha Franklin's hat arrived before she did. Man! That was some piece of headwear. No missing her in a crowd.

Dick Cheney in a wheelchair looks like Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life." (And wasn't that once a Saturday Night Live skit?)

How heavy do you think Biden's family bible was? It was huge.

Onto some food news:

Did you see Eric Ruth's story that Capriotti subs are being served up at some Delaware backed galas in D.C. ?

Ryan Cormier last night stopped by the famous Ben's Chili Bowl - (It was featured last night on Anthony Bourdain's TV series "No Reservations.") Pretty cool ice sculpture.

According to the Washington Post's Tom Sietsema, D.C. restaurateurs are looking forward to seeing an uptick in biz with the new 44th President. He and Michelle love to dine out, unlike the Texas couple who just moved out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Get your cup of Joe here! Nage restaurant in D.C. - there's also one in Rehoboth Beach - has been hosting Sunday "Biden Brunches."

The meal features a Joe impersonator (wonder how long he'll talk to you before your eggs get cold?) and a menu with such Delaware-inspired dishes as Sussex County Punkin' Chunkin Pancakes, Southern Delaware Chicken in a Blanket; and tons of that beloved mystery meat made with pig parts - scrapple - which also happens to be the pride of Bridgeville.
