Editorial Review

Step one in Washington's twelve-step program towards embracing Obama cool. Glossy, blood red, geometric leather cushions, square red lanterns, sex shop chic ("Waiter, there's a vampire in my soup"). Local hot stuff chef Brian Murphy preaches truth, love, liberty on a plate—posh global flavor mash-ups: pick an exotic and/or expensive meat plus one rare sauce from a developed Asian country. Add a quaint US state as an adjective, repeat. New Chicago tribe of CSPAN-watchers lovin' it.
