Who Knew There Was a Conundrum?
Hot on the heels of our own Meatloaf Appreciation Day, the New York Times claims to have solved the meatloaf conundrum.

Nixon Would Heart Meatloaf Appreciation Day
Can you picture then-congressman Richard M. Nixon stuffing his face with meatloaf? Well, he did, and historic Martin's Tavern in Georgetown— where the stuffing used to happen— isn't keeping it a secret. With Meatloaf Appreciation Day just five days away, Martin's is serving the pâté wannabe at this week's Taste of Georgetown, a street fair-cum–gorge fest where nearby restaurants show off mini entrée portions.
During the 1940s and '50s, Nixon used to sit at booth No. 2 at Martin's Tavern, a quintessentially Washington power-hitters spot. His usual order? The M-loaf. And this weekend, Martin's will be serving $5 sample portions from—get this—an authentic Watergate Hotel chafing dish!
Last month, the Watergate complex was hosting a blow-out liquidation sale inspired by its upcoming "dramatic renovation." Fitness equipment, marble sinks, and even bedding went from anywhere between $1 to $7,000. A bunch of china, including the ornate silver chafing dish, was snatched by fourth-generation owner Billy Martin, Jr. A little Nixon resignation joke? Oh, Washington. Even when you're talking meatloaf, it involves a president/presidential scandal.

Announcing National Meatloaf Appreciation Day
Meatloaf: You can make it from a classic pork-veal-beef mixture or with lean ground turkey. You can flavor-boost it with a packaged soup mix or deck it out with fresh herbs, dried fruits, and exotic meats. Meatloaf lends itself to improvisation while being comforting, and unites tradition and innovation. Maybe your recipe is your grandmother's or maybe you make it up as you go along. It ain't always pretty, but it's just the thing for satisfying your soul, true sweater-weather food, and a home-cooked standard.
We're declaring Thursday, October 18 "National Meatloaf Appreciation Day" and are creating a food event to capture the festivities. What does this mean for you?
