You are what you eat!

With so many candidates, the New York Times interviewed them- giving 20 questions of all styles to each

This is important to tell your Hickenloopers from your Inslees, and who will do what if they get elected, but this blog isn’t about stuff like that.

There were some fun questions like “what is your comfort food?” and Eater already covered this. I am grateful for them bringing this to light.

Still, since we are your one stop shop, let me recap

Space age love song

A group of progressive forward thinkers reveals less forward thinking cuisine choices than you might think.

Cory Booker is a vegan and his choice is veggies to go. Tulsi Gabbard says Vegan Cupcakes which is a fantastic dichotomy as she is a fantastic dichotomy of Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders style issues. Andrew Yang picked Kind Bars (those rainbow wrapper granola bars which surely are no one else’s go-to snack

Grease is the word

Bill Clinton’s legacy hangs heavy over the Dems and apparently so does his diet. French fries says Kamala Harris. Seth Moulton and Steve Bullock both went with hamburgers. Beto O’Rourke widens his answer to “any fast food”. John Delaney goes oddly specific with “Two McDonalds grilled chicken sandwiches, no mayo”.



You probably never heard of them


Michael Bennet likely sent Yelpers to Pass Key in Pueblo Colorado for their Italian Sausage sandwich. Pete Buttigieg is a Beef Jerky fan and says he gets gifts of it as he travels. Eater reveals a tweet that shows the Mayor also is a big fan of string cheese and Gatorade as well.

Sugar on my tongue

John Hickenlooper and Jay Inslee are M&Ms guys, though Inslee says he’s banned them from his office for ‘belt security’ (Hey Oh!). Tim Ryan went with ice cream.

It’s Five O’clock somewhere
.

Drinks were popular. Julian Castro with ice tea, and Eric Swalwell with mocha. Kirsten Gillibrand who has become a regular at the local gay bar went with “a glass of whiskey”. Hey now!

Supersize Me

‘Too much comfort food” says Bernie Sanders. It’s Pulled Pork for Bill DeBlasio. Amy Klobuchar went with a baked potato, not an obvious pick. Elizabeth Warren likes chips and guacamole.

There is no there there

Marianne Williamson is so life affirming but her answer of “I have no comfort food” is positively nihilistic. Joe Biden not answering any questions make it seem like he is turning into the Donald Trump that he is campaigning against.
