Maître d’s have a lot of great stories, and sometimes we get to meet really interesting people while just doing our jobs. 

In honor of ELECTION WEEK we’re offering up a wholly positive, but still dishy behind-the-scenes story of what happened when President and Mrs. Obama came to dinner at Maialino in New York City. 

Listen in to hear how Roger Raines graced telling a private party that they couldn’t be seated until everyone in their party had arrived, and what happened when he inadvertently tried to check the Presidential Football.

God Bless America
