Rahm Emanuel Resumes Familiar Routine

Ex-Rep. Rahm Emanuel skipped town a few years back to become mayor of Chicago, but he hasn’t forgotten his favorite haunts here in Washington, D.C.

No word on what he and his two companions ordered, but confidence is high they all found something to their liking; we’ve been dazzled by house-made lamb sausage swaddled in sautéed spinach, mouthwatering beef tripe ragout and potato- and salami-stuffed squid on previous visits.
