Mayor Thomas Koch cuts and then runs

Quincy Center’s newest restaurant survives a visit by gourmand as well as duly embattled incumbent Mayor Thomas P. Koch.
This past Thursday a new restaurant in Quincy Center hosted its official public opening.
As expected, given the opportunity for a photo op as well as the likelihood of free food, photo op maven nonpareil as well as duly embattled Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch came a calling.
Not expected, however, is that he only stuck around for long enough to stage the photo op cutting of the ceremonial grand opening ribbon and then left abruptly without even setting foot inside the restaurant or saying much, much less sampling its ample as well as tasty samplings.

Obviously, the last non-action by Quincy’s legendary diner left many gobsmacked.
At the same time, publication deadlines precluded Quincy Quarry from confirming – or not – rumors that he instead cut the cheese after cutting the ribbon.
Quincy Quarry can, however, confirm that Ward I City Councillor ward-heeler as well as frequent inconvenience stuck around for hours after the photo op ribbon-cutting working the hustings given that she too is a deservedly embattled incumbent.
Additionally, wearing – as usual for her – a too little and in this case little black dress, it is only reasonable to assume that at least some patrons may have mistakenly assumed that she might be the restaurant’s hostess.

Fortunately, the restaurant’s already best in Quincy cuisine as well as expert service by its actual staff will surely overcome any possible detrimental sentiments arising from her self-serving intrusions upon their otherwise gastronomic dining experience.
Expect a full review of this first culinary as well as truly professional service fine dining establishment in the Q by Quincy Quarry food critic Julie Child after she finishes up sampling its many courses of delicious dining options.
Why are there no masks or social distancing mention in the ribbon cutting ceremony by Quincy Quarry!?
Good eye Joyce! The ribbon cutting photo used for this QQ story was about an opening that was published five years ago — check the story’s dateline. That and how the picture reflects the long ongoing practice of our peerless mayor to all but invariably show up whenever a new restaurant opens up near City Hall. Even so, QQ needs to bang a copy of the socially not distant ribbon cutting of a sort for the recent dedication of the long overdue renovating of Kincaide Park from Koch Machine social media to then do a little social distance shaming.
