Every time we have a trade show on the East Coast, that's the primary time that people go, 'Marion Barry?!' And, you know, people are surprised, they're confused, they get a chuckle.
In 1996, when McCormick & Schmick's opened its first East Coast restaurant in DC, owners invited Barry to taste their marionberry cobbler, which he enjoyed with his staff.
Marionberry has also proved to be a particularly popular ice cream flavor. In 1998, as Barry prepared to leave the mayor's office, a flavor called 'Goodbye, Marion Berry' was introduced.
