During his 2008 campaign for the presidency, then-candidate Sen. Barack Obama stopped for a cheesesteak and fries at Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia. Click through the gallery to see other politicians eating their way through key political states.

Everyone in Cleveland knows that politicians who eat Polish Boys and pierogi — not necessarily at the same time — increase their chances of winning their political races.

It’s Cleveland’s bustling food culture that we’ll celebrate during the Republican National Convention, July 18 to July 21, followed by Philadelphia’s culinary scene during the Democratic National Convention, July 25 to July 28.

Each city has its special spots, and they’ll still be happening long after the convention delegates go home.
