Restaurants are now a soundstage for our national spectacle.

In recent weeks, we've witnessed two high-profile collisions between the food service industry and an unwelcome potential patron. In the first, Cracker Barrel - the Tennessee-based chain best known for its simpler-times decor and crowd-pleasing portions - came out with a forceful statement barring Grayson Fritts, the sheriff's detective-cum-Baptist preacher who advocated the arrest and execution of LGBTQ people, from holding an event at one of its restaurants in Cleveland, Tennessee.

In the second instance, a server at Aviary, an upscale Chicago cocktail bar, was briefly detained by the Secret Service after allegedly spitting in the face of Eric Trump while the president's son was visiting the city on business.

Happily, there was more widespread support for Cracker Barrel than for the spitting server. A hatemonger with murderous intent doesn't deserve anyone's hospitality. But no one in the industry condones the physical assault of a patron.
