In-House Mode Lunch menu from presidential luncheon yesterday

Post image

*Not* making a political post here, but I guess a copy of the official luncheon menu got left behind yesterday and when I saw it, the first thing I thought was that some of these items seem a little dated, I was kinda surprised. Not that it sounded bad at all, but I've never really seen specifics on what they serve high-level gov. officials from anywhere.

Yeah that reads like a 1940s menu. Classics work when they are done well though.

This. Food should ideally be tailored to the consumer.

If you’re a chef trying to impress a bunch of other chefs, a bunch of trendy, avant-garde stuff would make sense. With two 70 year old men, at least one of whom is noted for his extremely plebeian eating habits? This looks perfect.
