Before The Battle At The Polls … A Presidential Food Fight

Two Eaters go head-to-head in an attempt to one-up their opponent’s culinary skills. And you, dear reader, get to be judge and jury. Try the recipes yourself, then visit our Facebook page to cast your vote.

In celebration of Election Day, We The Eaters is dedicating November to a new series, “Historical Foods: A Presidential Perspective.” We’ll work our way backwards, starting with recent history, bringing you comfort foods of — or inspired by — Jimmy Carter, Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.

But before you cast your vote on November 6, let your belly do the choosing as we pit the current candidates against each other. Does chili reminiscent of President Obama’s family recipe make your mouth water? Or is it opponent Mitt Romney’s fave — meatloaf — that you crave?
