Via Serious Eats, we learned that Mayor Emanuel is really, really sick of kale, as he told NPR this week.

EMANUEL: I'm all kaled out, man. We're going on a kale strike just for a short 24-hour period, because Amy loves Kale and...

MARTIN: Kale chips?

EMANUEL: Yeah, I'm just telling you we could use a kale break but we're not allowed, OK?

May we suggest some Brussels sprouts to tide him over until spring asparagus gets here?
