An Alaska restaurant is incorporating politics into its menu. Lion's Den restaurant in Midtown Anchorage has created its own specialty: the McPalin Grilled Pig Sandwich. It comes with a side of lipstick.

Lion's Den owner Dale Keefe says he normally keeps politics out of work conversations, but when he was making sandwiches with his crew recently, the big news story was Barack Obama's comment, "You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig."

Obama's comment spurred Keefe's political food creation.

"I just kept thinking about that news story when I was making sandwiches and I just kind of had an epiphany," Keefe said.

The McPalin grilled sandwich is grilled pork tenderloin with caramelized apples, red onions, melted cheddar cheese and crisp bacon. And piggy ears and eyes. With a side of lipstick.

The McPalin grilled pig sandwich runs $13, and has been selling out.
