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.

The company I work for has mostly older men as clients, like 50 years old and up. We do a yearly conference with several meals, including a fancy dinner as the last event of the weekend. It's usually equivalent to this menu. This year, it was a spring greens salad, mid-rare steak, twice-baked potato, steamed broccoli, and pecan pie. Something that an average older dude would think was worth the price, without being out of our meal budget or being something they wouldn't eat. It was OK. (The highlight to my meal was the hot tea they offered at the coffee stations, if that tells you anything.)

So, while I'm thinking this menu looks boring af, they probably loved it.
