From seriouseats:
“If you live Paris and want to get in on some Presidential election-inspired foods, head to the Hotel Concord La Fayette in Paris for Obama and McCain burgers. Chef Laurent Belijar modeled Obama’s “O-Burger” after Obama’s birth state of Hawaii by making a curried patty topped with pineapple carpaccio and a mix of coriander-flavored shrimp. McCain’s “Elephant Burger” is southwest-themed, made of a tomato-flavored patty mixed with grilled lamb and guacamole and served with tomato salsa and nachos.
These burgers are available until November 4 at the La Fayette Bar and cost €22 each.” (almost $31 for a burger)

They both sound delicious (in fact, in spite of my political leanings, I do prefer the McCain burger), but at that price, either might make me slightly ill.
Comment by Elisabeth 10.01.08 @ 2:17 pmI hate when people put pineapple on things and call it “Hawaiian”.
