This behavior is unfortunate for someone who claims to be above politics as usual...

Owing to my mother’s insatiable appetite for seafood and my father’s idiosyncratic habit of driving until he finds “authentic” restaurants, I’ve eaten in my share of rugged waterfront establishments. It is telling that my family’s favorite restaurant in Maine is a riverside shack that serves lobster and steamers at picnic tables and encourages patrons to bring coolers with their own appetizers and alcoholic beverages...
