Indeed, the irony is that while Obama may have never been your average Joe, until joining the Senate just three years ago he was something pretty close to it: driving his own cars, answering his own phone, cooking his famous chili for friends and still paying off his student loans. By contrast, Hillary Clinton has been in Washington for more than a decade and John McCain, who has also thrown a few elitist jabs Obama's way, has been there more than two decades...
...dishes are spread out on a long buffet table so you just choose what you like and they'll heat it up and bring it to your table. It's a great place for vegetarians like us, as the Sundanese eat lots of raw vegetables and sambal, or chili paste. The place is cozy and the people friendly, so we love to come here after a long day and just enjoy the breeze at a table outside on the terrace...
...around Denver, where, just blocks from Coors Field, we went to Wynkoop Brewing Co., a microbrewery co-founded by the city's mayor, John Hickenlooper. It's a big, sprawling restaurant with a comedy theater in the basement, and brewer Thomas Larsen makes a beer subtly flavored with chili spices and a stout with oatmeal and other nonbarley grains.

Thailand's recently elected Prime Minister, Samak Sundaravej, boasts a famous palate; before he assumed the P.M. post, Samak hosted his own TV cooking show.

On April 1 - and, no, this was no April Fool's joke - local newspapers put coverage of the Prime Minister's diarrhea on the front page. Hospitalized for food poisoning...
Bill Clinton came from a little town called Hope. Chairman Mao sprung from the chili-eating village of Shaoshan, a place whose entire economy now relies on promoting its native son. So it's instructive to think for a moment of the rural district of Kepala Batas, home to Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. The locals of Kepala Batas, located in western Malaysia's Penang state, consider Abdullah, whose ruling National Front coalition is contesting the March 8 general elections, a kindly, avuncular presence. But their real respect appears to be reserved for his father and grandfather, both...
