Hyde Park, NY- For over five decades the CIA (The Culinary Institute of America) has prided itself on its excellence and integrity in churning out some of the greatest professional chefs and bakers in the country.

Despite the institute’s storied history and record of success, a recent investigation has tarnished the silver spoons of the current administration by revealing that one of CIA President Gerald W. Blush’s top aides leaked the name of an undercover food critic that was to be dining in one of his associate’s restaurants.

According to the investigation that was conducted by an independent culinary commission, Blush advisor Karloff Rovenski, in association with Assistant President Shaney underling Louie “Scooter Pie” Lovey revealed the identity of a female food critic that was scheduled to dine at Le Pretension-- an upscale eatery owned and operated by Chef Guy DuMond who studied overly dramatic French cuisine with Rovenski in the seventies.

Investigators contend that the upcoming review by the critic was a “make or break” situation for DuMond’s restaurant as well as his career, and that he asked Rovenski if he could see his way fit to “tip the scales in his favor” by disclosing the identity of the woman who held his fate in her hands, allowing DuMond to really pour it on when she visited Le Pretension.

In exchange for the sterling review that DuMond was sure to receive after gaining his unfair advantage, Rovenski was reportedly promised a guest spot on DuMond’s planned Food Network reality show “Beans Don’t Burn on the Grill” (a show that follows underprivileged chefs scrapping their way from the rough streets of suburban Connecticut all the way to the top of the culinary world) and unrestricted access to his quaint cottage in the south of France (during the winter).

Not surprisingly, the Blush administration has tried to distance itself from the scandal and is reportedly holding its cards pretty close to the vest so as not to ignite another fiasco like Rotisserie-Gate which saw President Blush accused of showing favoritism in a student cook-off that featured the succulent, slow-roasting cooking method back in 2002.

Although the repercussions of the leak investigations are not yet fully known, it is clear that this is one more black eye that the current administration could definitely do without.
