Oven Mitt
January 27, 2008 at 11:06 am
Here’s something great for the candidate who just can’t make up his mind — a primary with three different kinds of greasy chicken.
The typically health-conscious Mitt Romney made a campaign pit stop at a KFC here — but was careful to plug an array of chicken joints, lest folks think he was playing favorites.
Topping his list: Miami’s own Pollo Tropical.
Sitting at a corner table with Al Cárdenas, the former Florida Republican Party chairman and key campaign advisor, Romney tucked in to his KFC meal.
‘’You know what I love down here? Pollo Tropical,'’ said Romney, who likes the Miami-based chain’s grilled chicken, rice and black beans. “I just got introduced to it a couple of months ago and now whenever I see a Pollo Tropical I like to pull in.’”
Romney’s selection Saturday included baked beans, coleslaw and fried chicken — which the presidential hopeful noted he had stripped of its breading.
‘’I also like Chick-fil-A,'’ he said.
No doubt that when the Feb. 9 Louisiana primary approaches, Romney will also pledge allegiance to Popeye’s.
