(WASHINGTON D.C.)- A newspaper that covers Congress has selected Rep. Jason Chaffetz as the official judge of hamburgers around the Capitol and its office buildings. Roll Call decided to do some blind taste testing on hamburgers on Capitol Hill, showing him munching on the burgers and posting the results on the Internet. The newspaper said it chose Chaffetz because he’s a “self-proclaimed burger aficionado who has serious beefy bona fides.” According to the newspaper, Chaffetz has made his own study of the town’s best burgers, proclaiming his favorite to be from Five Guys and often tweets about his burger runs. Roll Call said Chaffetz chose the best burger as coming from the Cannon building, because he has always devoured things associated with the name of Cannon. He apparently ate all of it. Chaffetz said the worst burger came from the vending machines, eating only one bite of it. Roll Call said Chaffetz would like to be the top expert on foreign affairs or defense but he’ll settle for perhaps being the top expert on hamburgers.
