From the White House to the Capitol on Wednesday, Washington's political class was consuming lots of Gulf seafood.
White House Executive Chef Cris Comerford plans to serve more than 2,000 pounds of Gulf Coast shrimp and seafood during a series of holiday parties, which began Wednesday night with a reception for volunteers.

The White House shrimp came from Venice, Comerford said.
