Senatorial Appetites Make Life HardFor Managers of Capital Restaurants

Senator* have a* many. If not more,differences In their Capitol restaurant

as they do in committees or in debate

on the floor of their chamber. Homeinfluences appear to follow them wher-

ever they go. New Englander, West-erner, Southerner, each spurns thedishes most relished by the others.

The jol? of striking a balanceamong these conflicting appetites fallsto the lot of Joseph I. Hanger, man iager of the six Senate restaurants, jwho finds it harder to meet the re jquit-aments of the members than jto cater to the multitudes of visitors jthat pass through the restaurants;daily.

Those multitudes Jtre a widely jfluctuating quantity. One day he is |called on to serve only a few hundred <patrona, while the next day he mayhave to feed two or three thousand IHe solves the problem thus presented!by closely studying the news of the!Senate’s proceedings. If a popularsubject is up for discussion, he knowsthat a large crowd will visit the gal-leries and will require his ministra-tions.

It’s possible for him to take reason-able chances in trying to satisfy the,public patrons, but that is not thecase with the Senators. They are,so to speak, “the boss,” and duringhis years of experience, he has madeit his business to know their prefer-ences.

One thing he has learned is tokeep on tap a bountiful supply of old-fashioned bean soup. That dish ap-pears to be non partisan, having thesupport, of Senators from all sections.One day, some years ago. he removed

it from the menu. The Senate of theUnited States Immediately took In-formal but vigorous action, and beansoup was restored to the menu,permanently. At present, 30 gallonsare made—and consumed— every day.
