When federal officials released a sweeping indictment of Local 98 union chief John Dougherty, Councilman Bobby Henon, and six other individuals connected to the alleged corruption, it was full of food.

While describing the 116 charges of embezzlement, tax fraud and theft of union funds, the charges go into painstaking detail of all the ways Johnny Doc and his errand boys allegedly spent money they weren’t supposed to have. The charges delve into the nitty-gritty — including exact sandwich orders at local restaurants and full shopping lists from recent Target runs.

Among the things we learned: many of them love breakfast cereal, and Dougherty he thinks ham is a gift.

Over the past few years, Dougherty and friends have dined on potato salad, frozen pizzas and three different kinds of of steak. Even the pets have been eating good, with dog food and bones showing up often.

Here’s a quick rundown of everything the feds say Johnny Doc and his friends have been eating.
