Haute Cuisine for the POTUS-Elect

Rachael Ray, who's as cute as a button, has dreamt up as ghastly an inaugural dinner as one can imagine:

She'd start by ditching the traditional formal dinner and serving party food, instead. "I'd have sliders," she says. "What's more American than a hamburger?"

Ray would make miniature versions of burgers topped with things like blue cheese and arugula or honey-mustard cream sauce. She'd also make little Chicago-style hot dogs, deviled eggs and all kinds of things you can eat in two bites.

Pigs-in-a-blanket on the White House lawn? How delish. May the good Lord spare us from making her the Commander-in-Chief's chef.
