Everyone remembers their first kiss; but your first
sandwich? Hundreds of people in downtown Washington won't soon forget the first customer at
Capriotti's this morning: Vice President
Joe Biden stopped by the grand opening of the popular Delaware-based sandwich shop's first DC location, placing an order with CEO Ashley Morris for a Bobbie and two Italian subs (no onions.) Why so many? The
President has to eat too. I wonder how many area restaurants can brag about serving the President and Vice President of the United States as customers #1 & 2?
It didn't exactly go
downhill from there, as M Street was reopened, and a long line of customers made their way inside (the first 50 earned free sandwiches.) Meanwhile, the real show was going on
outside, where the Racing Presidents posed for pictures, and future Capriotti
fanatics helped themselves to free t-shirts. Talk about making a splash.
