Lawmakers in Washington, D.C., are known for making some questionable decisions, and this one is no different: Senate Republicans have decided Arkansas cheese dip is tastier than Texas queso.

The great debate between the two state's cheese dishes started in November, when the Wall Street Journal wrote a report suggesting Arkansas cheese dip is just as good or better than Texas queso.

DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR? Arkansas thinks 'cheese dip' is its 'biggest culinary treasure'

Texans should be baffled on how anyone could think cheese dip is even worthy of comparison to queso.

The debate escalated into an eat-off on Capitol Hill. U.S. senators taste-tested Arkansas cheese dip from Heights Taco and Tamale from Little Rock and Texas queso from Uncle Julio's of Dallas, according to Arkansas Online.

Sen. Ted Cruz, of Houston, should ask for a recount, much like the recounts former presidential candidate Jill Stein asked for in a few states. At the very least, Cruz should ask for an investigation into this Cheesegate.
