Posted by Whichever candidate you’re pulling for on Tuesday we can all agree that this year’s Presidential election campaign has been perhaps the most nerve-wracking and stomach churning affair in recent memory.
But your one lifeboat of solace in this sea of uncertainty? Lots of election day food and drink specials happening around the city of angels. So matter how the results come in at least you’ll be celebrating / lamenting them on a full stomach.
