ANAHEIM WHITE HOUSE HOSTS ELECTION NIGHT “RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE”

Election Night promises to be filled with suspense and excitement particularly at one Southland restaurant. The Anaheim White House is hosting “Race To The White House,” featuring live coverage of the election proceedings on specially placed TV screens and four-course Obama vs. McCain menus that allow guests to support their favorite candidate, announced Bruno Serato, proprietor of the critically acclaimed restaurant. Guests 21 and older who show proof they voted will receive a complimentary bottle of Champagne. The fun begins at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4. The prix fixe menus, four courses for $44, feature such items as John McCalamari and Sarah Palin pasta e fagioli soup on the Republican menu and the more “left leaning” Barack O-Chicken and Joe Biden veal. According to Serato, the evening is intended to be a good-natured event with guests from either end of the political spectrum coming together to celebrate our freedom to vote and the spirit of the electoral process.
