This celebrity has been spotted at restaurants all over Wichita this past week. Hasn’t he?
He hasn’t been spotted in Wichita since he was here in 2018 for a political rally at Century II.
But late last week, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has been all over Wichita, hanging out inside and outside some of the city’s most notable eateries and food businesses.
At least, that’s what social media says.
Rest assured, Sanders was toasty warm and wearing some familiar looking mittens.
Just look at all the Sanders sightings that were recently posted:
He was camped out at the entrance to Prost, the German restaurant at 2721 E. Central, keeping a staff member company:
He stopped by the No Bake Cafe at 3700 E. Douglas to help the owner determine whether it was outdoor dining season yet:
At Walt’s East, 7732 E. Central, he was patiently waiting for his order of the restaurant’s famous hot beef sandwich to be ready:
He even popped into All Things BBQ in Delano, where he tried out some patio furniture in advance of mitten-shedding season:
He capped it all off by sliding up to the bar at Acapulco Restaurant in Newton, where he enjoyed some chips, salsa and a refreshing margarita:
Sadly, things got a little tense, apparently, when his brother ate his leftovers from Doc Greens.
Sen. Sanders and his mighty mittens were also seen at Side Pockets, at Ty’s Diner and at Nifty Nut House, where he plopped onto a shelf and tried to blend in with Valentine’s Day gift baskets.
Who knows where else he will pop up? But we’ll keep our eyes open and our hands warm.
