The Mayor and mayoral challenger square off over dinner. Here are excerpts from the Globe coverage.

The mayor peeled off his jacket and took his seat next to Hennigan. When lunch arrived, he ate about half his fish, tore off a slice of flatbread from a communal plate, and later picked at his sliced carrots with his fingers.

Fascinating.

Hennigan sat ramrod straight, never touched her scrod, and only took a few spoonfuls of bisque toward the end of the hour.

Insightful.

To be fair, these probably were the most exciting things that happened during the debate.
