Dreaming of deporting yourself to Paris until the election dust settles? You'd be wise to avoid the Hotel Concorde La Fayette--unless, of course, you actually enjoy the oh-so-passé satisfaction of an election being decided on the real, shall we say, meaty issues rather than superficial garnishes.
That's right, the Hotel Concorde La Fayette is following in the election-gimmick trend encroaching hotels stateside and has created a French version of presidential-themed burgers: the O-Burger and Elephant Burger at the La Fayette Bar. (Turns out even the City of Light can't outshine the glaring spotlight surrounding this year's wannabe leaders of the free world.)
Chef Laurent Belijar culled inspiration from each of the dueling senator's home and adopted states. Obama's Honolulu-inspired O-Burger is fancy and "exotic" (curried burger loaf with pineapple carpaccio, coriander-flavored shrimp); McCain's Elephant Burger is southwest with a sampling of Joe Sixpack-pleasing flavors (tomato-flavored burger loaf with grilled lamb and guacamole, tomato salsa and nachos).
Diners have until November 4th to place their burger-preference votes, at which point the victor will be anointed, er, announced. No word on whether you can order a side of freedom fries.
