This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral-Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!-in America's Gilded Capital

Rebecca's pick was a political non-fiction book called This Town:  Two Parties and a Funeral--Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!--in America's Gilded Capital, by Mark Leibovich.

Despite great reviews on Amazon, none of us were crazy about this book.  I don't think anyone made it past the first five chapters. 

To make up for our unfulfilling read, Rebecca invited us to Half Moon Bay to a restaurant owned by some friends, called Ground-Up Burgers.  They were having a cooking demonstration and holiday shopping event, and we filled up on delicious burgers and chips and freshly-made ginger ale.  All their food is made from local (very local!) ingredients.  It was a great location to (not really) discuss our book.
