Hillary and Bill Clinton took a break from the South Beach Diet on Wednesday to do lunch Buffalo-style: spaghetti Parmesan and chicken cacciatore at Chef's on Seneca Street.
"I figure once a year, it's OK," said former president and quadruple by-pass survivor Bill Clinton, as he chomped down on a cannoli while simultaneously shaking hands with adoring fans.
The Clintons were at Chef's with about 40 convention organizers and volunteers to wrap up their appearances in Buffalo for the state Democratic convention.
"That was amazing!" gushed hostess Kim Ehnes, 19, of East Aurora, moments after the powerhouse political duo was swept away by Secret Service agents.
"We thought that the Sabres coming in here was a big deal, but that blew that away," she said.
"It's an awesome feeling to meet a president of the United States of America," said Samuel A. Herbert, a convention volunteer who showed up outside Chef's to take a photograph of himself with the Clintons with his cell phone camera.
"I will treasure this picture," Herbert said.
The Clintons made the rounds in the restaurant, shaking hands with workers and patrons and delighting them with their down-to-earth demeanor, before sitting down to mounds of Italian-American dishes.
"The president said we just put 10 pounds on him and took 10 years off his life because of all the cheese," said waitress Anne Johnston, 21.
Customers, too, were delighted by the surprise visit.
Barb and Ted Gorney, a retired couple from West Seneca, were in downtown Buffalo running errands and just happened to decide to come to Chef's Wednesday afternoon.
"I thought I'd surprise her and take her to lunch at Chef's," Ted Gorney said.
They were worried at first when they saw the long line of black Secret Service SUVs in front of the restaurant, but were thrilled when they saw who the special guests were. The Gorneys made sure to get a table near the aisle so they'd get a chance to shake hands with the Clintons.
"If it was [President] Bush, I wouldn't even speak to them," Barb Gorney joked.
Andrea Gallo, 59, a retired Buffalo Envelope worker and regular at Chef's, said she strode up to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton with a pointed message: "I told her I want her to run for president and that she'd be just as good as her husband."
Sen. Clinton replied: "I need your help in November, first."
To which Gallo replied: "You got it."
For the record: The restaurant picked up the tab but waitress Johnston said the party "left a nice tip."
Yeah, well, he's too damned evil to die from the cheese he eats, darling. And the cheese you've gushed will add 20 to his despicable existence.
Doncha know this POS just positively lives for the fawning attention?
Right now, I'm not sure which low-life POS I detest most, Billy-bob Clintoon or that treasonous ass-clown, Murtha.
Did Hillary leave a tip?
"He claimed my soul in the name of satan and I loved very moment of it."
I lost my breakfast!
I have a friend who saw the Clintons up close at Bentson's funeral service this week and she said Bill looks sick and "worse than heart problems."
I loved including Hillary in the description-- "their down to earth demeanor." There should be a law against people that stupid even being allowed to vote!
Who is "Diets"? He sounds German.
it sounds like an snl skit w/ phil hartman as clinton "jogging" into a McD's then eating everyone's food to show how food sent overseas ends up in the hands of warlords
Confirmation that she's running for president.
Bill does look bad doesn't he? Not a good ad for the South Beach diet.
Proving once again that our media is obsessed with a Clinton AGENDA and anything anti-Republican.
The restaurant picked up the tab
Clinton is a true libertine, sacrificing his health for his immediate gratification.
Next LSM news article: "Bill and Hillary switch from Charmin to Quilted Norther as fears of global warming intensify".
I can see this lady's confusion:
Sabres - Quite possibly, the biggest chAmps Buffalo will ever see.
Clintons - Quite possibly, the biggest chUmps Buffalo will ever see.
Common, misperception really...
Just how long has it been since there was an article about them eating together? Now that she's running for President, I suppose we'll have to get used to the two-some again? Lord have MERCY!

I did see that :)
The way Bubba trots about the world, I doubt he can stick to any diet.
The amount the Toons eat is inversely proportional to the amount of money they pay for it.
