• Last Tuesday, President Obama took a moment for a bite at Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia. Fox News “journalist” Sean Hannity cast the president’s request for dijon mustard as elitist. This video clip proves we’re not joking. [Gawker]

• Some headway has been made in reversing an Ontario law that prohibits the carrying of alcohol over provincial borders and the purchasing of wine directly from out-of-province wineries. [Globe and Mail]

• Despite the World Health Organization’s warnings about swine flu in pork, the Canadian government insists the meat is safe to eat. Still, we don’t imagine Canadians will be stocking up on chops any time soon. [CP]

• In the first quarter of 2009, the American fast-food industry recorded its first decline since 2003. Perhaps there’s an upside to the recession, after all. [Reuters]
