Kerry finds a Dunkin Donuts store in Moscow, where he meets today with Putin and Lavrov

Foreign Policy has many pictures of Kerry at various DD locations -- and notes it is a Massachusetts company. (Then in a Boston Globe like comment they write "The coffee and breakfast chain got started in Massachusetts, and Bostonians love few things more than a good tradition. Kerry, who attended school in New England and later served as Massachusetts’s lieutenant governor and U.S. senator, has made it somewhat of one to swing by various Dunkins for photo-ops. "

Kerry and his friend used their mothers' maiden names and their recipes. He sold his share decades ago, but people at the Boston convention got their cookies anyway - http://www.kilvertandforbesbakeshop.com/

-- and Kerry is completely on record as a fan of chocolate chip cookies.
