What's on the Trump menu? Lobster, steak and chocolate
Posted January 19, 2017 6:00 am
NEW YORK (AP) - Donald Trump's first meal as president of the United States isn't too far from the typical power lunch for a billionaire businessman - lobster, beef and a rich chocolate dessert.
The inaugural committee Thursday released the lunch menu following the swearing-in ceremonies on Friday and Trump and some 200 guests will be tucking into a first course of Maine lobster and Gulf shrimp in a saffron sauce, Angus beef from Virginia with Idaho potatoes and a dark chocolate sauce, and a chocolate souffle with cherry vanilla ice cream.
The three-course menu isn't too far from previous lunches other new commanders in chief have enjoyed, with lobster, in some form, usually making the first course.
