With the National Urban League convention in town, Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine came to Baltimore on Thursday for a speech to the crowd of leaders. But before he left, the Virginia Senator sampled some of the local seafood.
Along with Congressman Elijah Cummings, Kaine went to LP Steamers in Locust Point.

Fox News reporter Pat Ward indicated that Kaine and Cummings had crab, shrimp and crab cakes. Being a lunchtime stop, it looks like the reporters were feeling hungry around.

The Clinton campaign has yet to issue an official statement on how he made the choice of where to eat, but it’s clear he got good advice.
So that’s why the Secret Service kicked us out of LP Steamers this afternoon… I’m English I’d never had Baltimore crab before and my friends were going to treat me
