Where was the best place to watch the debate last night? Not the gastropubs and wine bars: "The answer, I’m now certain, is a Nigerian restaurant in Inglewood with some chicken egusi, a bottle of palm wine and a big heaping mound of context," says Man Bites World, who stumbled upon a rapt debate-watching audience at Saari's. "No one is going home to finish this thing and the setting offers a sense of community I’m just plain not used to in my own life. The words spoken on the television seem to resonate more here than with any die hard liberals I know. It’s the difference between understanding what’s wrong with the country and really, truly feeling it." [MBW]
