Burger Proposed as Official Ohio Food

A constituent of Ohio Senator Kevin Coughlin of Cuyahoga Falls has advanced the idea of an Official Ohio State Food to the point where it's to be debated in the Ohio Statehouse next week. Coondog O'Karma wants the hamburger officially designated since legend has it being invented in Ohio at the Summit County Fair by the Menches brothers.

Expected to be in competition with the hamburger for the state food honor will be "country-fried tofu" which is supported by the vegetarians.

There's an unverified report that, if the burger is selected over the tofu, the vegan crowd will retaliate by forcing the Statehouse to consider morbid obesity as the Official State Disease.

Your tax dollars at work.
