Pittsburgh councilman Dan Gilman has replaced Kevin Acklin as chief of staff to Mayor Bill Peduto.
And the District 8 special election to replace Gilman may break some eggs if celebrated Dinette chef and owner Sonja Finn succeeds him. Gilman’s chief of staff, Erika Strassburger, is also seeking his seat.
Pittsburgh has had many unusual leaders over the years.

Sadly, our research didn’t reveal a list of chefs who dished up city politics. Finn could be the first.
