It’s official. Rep. Randy Neugebauer is Congress’ top toque. The Texas Republican and his wife, Dana, took home Best in Show honors Tuesday night at the annual March of Dimes Gourmet Gala, where pols compete in an hors d’oeuvres cook off.
Neugebauer won with his Thai cowboy steak with peanut dipping sauce (it was neck and neck with Rep. Steve Cohen’s, D-Tenn., New York Strip with red curry, as far as we’re concerned).
