After the world’s longest parade, inauguration evening was engulfed in red satin handbags and dapper Midwestern men who traded the comfort of one-piece long underwear for ill-fitting rented tuxes. Some of us who had ball tickets (even to the schnazzy Babyboomer’s Ball) simply opted out because really, three hours of security lines is enough for one day. Instead we headed to U Street and the evening’s must-have photo op at Ben’s Chili Bowl.

I'm hoping Barack Obama will have the power to make my dreams come true (date with Helen Mirren), but for now I'll settle for my predictions. As soon as he got elected, our first order of business was to comb through DC-area restaurants to find out where we could scope out hawt Secret Service agents on late-night food runs for their boss. Back then, we predicted that an Obama mainstay would be Ben's Chili Bowl, a DC diner institution. We wrote that "Night-hawk drunkards should not be surprised to find a man in sunglasses and dark suit, asking his boss if he’d like chili cheese fries with that." Well, guess what -- he would indeed.

Now that Barack's been elected to office, not only does he not have to pay for food anymore, but he can order whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, and deploy an armored motorcade to pick it up. Such is the gastronomical gift bestowed upon the most powerful man in the world. There are already rumors that President-Elect Obama will starve Oprah by stealing her preferred chef, Art Smith, and bringing him along to the White House. But a mere one man will not be able to satisfy Obama's presidential cravings, and since he can longer casually slip into his favorite spots for some pancakes, he'll be sending Secret Service agents to restaurants across the country to pick up his favorite grub. Here's a rundown of some of the spots that Obama might order takeout from on a late night of saving the planet.
