L’Affaire Abramoff and the Culinary Scene
If you’ve been following the Jack Abramoff/Tom Delay ethics scandal, you may have caught the piece in the New York Times yesterday that went into depth on the connections between the scandal and Abramoff’s (former?) downtown restaurant, Signatures. The article goes into depth on complimentary meals given to various political heavy hitters at the restaurant. The Times mentions that Abramoff is selling the restaurant, and we’ve heard that there’s already a buyer coming in. All this sparked interest a story on the tradition of political power restaurants in D.C. both past and present — be on the lookout for a DCist article on the subject in the next few days. If you have tips or thoughts on the subject, feel free to leave a comment.
