Political sightings in D.C. this week show the most powerful must stop to eat like the rest of us.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts lunched at Rasika on Thursday, which is just a mile from court. At the modern Indian restaurant, Roberts ate the signature favorites palak chaat and black cod. No word on who was Roberts' dining companion.

At a bigger table in the suburbs on Wednesday, Attorney General Eric Holder, his daughter and three FBI agents ate lunch at Legal Sea Foods.

Holder was dressed casually -- maybe he was off for Veterans Day?

Holder and his daughter ordered crab soup, grilled chicken salad and, for dessert, chocolate pudding cake.

The restaurant is inside the upscale shopping mall Tysons Galleria II.

It is unclear whether Holder was eating with his daughter Maya, 15 (pictured above) or Brooke, 13 (who attends the private Georgetown Day School) or why the D.C. resident was in Virginia for lunch.

Have any sightings of the powerful or famous in D.C. and around the country? Send me a direct message on Twitter @EmilyMillerDC

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
