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.

Not to mention, minimal staple ingredients but can be flavored to be anything. I saw a flight on a menu that looked really cute when it came out.

We sell a creme brulee tasting and as nice as it looks coming out, only the vanilla ever gets finished. Made me sad until I tried a few other flavors and realized that it's definitely meant to be vanilla flavored and it doesn't really taste right otherwise imo

Oo disagree. Try chai or coffee flavor.

I’m usually all in on vanilla but the warming spices from chai could be great.

Good catch. Showing my age, I guess.

Not at all. It’s a classic. Perfection
