In a story in today's New York Times Magazine, the reporter, Zev Chafets, offers to take Mike Huckabee for lunch to any restaurant in New York. Huckabee first requested T.G.I. Friday's. Chafats vetoed that, so they ended up at Huckabee's second choice, the Olive Garden. Huckabee clearly needs a culinary adviser. He's a fisherman and he watches his weight (he's lost 110 pounds in recent years), so if Huckabee had solicited my advice, I would have sent him to Esca or the Kwik Meal cart at 45th Street and Sixth Avenue. Have the crudo and a salad at Esca, Mr. Huckabee. And you can't go wrong with the mini-chicken roll at Kwik Meal.
