(5,812 posts)85. My fav food story about Nixon:
There is a local fish place in Newport Beach, CA, The Crab Cooker. It's been around for years. Very casual place, but jammed all the time. Paper plates and bowls, plastic-ware, lines around the block.
When Nixon was POTUS, the Limo and the SS pull up out front and one of the SS guys goes to the front of the line and says to the owner of the place that Nixon is there, wants to eat, and could they please open up a place for him to sit.
The response from the owner: Tell him to get in line and wait like everyone else!
