NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS

FrontBurnervian Foodies, do you know how lucky you are? Our (probably) soon-to-be-executive-chef-at-the-White-House Chris Ward will not return phone calls from the Washington Post or Nation’s Restaurant News, but he just promised me that FrontBurner “will be the first to know” when a decision comes down. (What could the Bushes be doing that is more important than this? They must be starving.) In the meantime, “Dubyah II” is going crazy. “I’ve heard some very good things from high sources in the Republican party but nothing official,” he says. “I did hear that they are going through several formalities like giving some other guys a shot at the job, but several people, like I said, have told me it’s a done deal.” Stay tuned.
