The Rhetoric of Burgers
Where’s the beef? In politics it’s in the red meat of ideological battle. You’ll also find it in the cheese of political spectacle. And, finally, you’ll find it in the savory onion of victory. Or maybe it’s just a hamburger, but I’ll bet it’s a damned good one.
Anthony Melhem, executive chef of Haldas Brothers Meats in Wilmington, Delaware has invented The Biden Burger as a way to celebrate Joe Biden’s nomination for vice president. It’s yummy. How do I know this? Because I’ve eaten lots of this guy’s cooking. I grew up in Delaware. He married my sister.
