Looks like this is the dopey idea the consultants came up with to rehab his career. Non-profit health food restaurant sounds like a real winner, eh?

Anthony Weiner is busy these days talking up his new, non-profit restaurant in a part of Queens battered by Superstorm Sandy — on Twitter.

The former congressman, who resigned in 2011 amid a sexting scandal, faltered in his comeback bid for New York City mayor last year as new concerns about salacious messages to women came to light. He’s been a political columnist and commentator since then and announced plans for the Rockaway Restoration Kitchen over the weekend, according to CBS.

The idea, according to the restaurant’s still-developing website, is to develop a healthy alternative to fast food outlets and pizza parlors. “Our goal is to provide a comfortable neighborhood restaurant with healthy, locally sourced food that satisfies the hunger of Rockaway residents, attracts visitors and serves up dignity and self-sufficiency by serving as a hands on training ground to provide skills, real experience and job placement in the culinary industry,” the company’s mission statement says.

The local Rockaway Times reported last week that Weiner is one of the principals behind the project.

The Rockaways are part of Weiner’s old congressional district, which he served from 1999 to 2011. His successor in Congress, Republican Bob Turner, was among the people who lost their homes in a fire after Superstorm Sandy flooded the Breezy Point neighborhood of the Rockaway Peninsula. Weiner’s first post-scandal tweet, 18 months after resigned, was about Sandy’s impact on the Rockaways.
