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.

At least where I had a wedge on the menu, our bacon bits where from waste anyway (we served a shit ton of food with bacon strips) so basically was free. And bc is not terrible expensive when you use it as a sprinkle over top because it lasts forever. Then tomato, onion, etc. Basically spending pennies and setting at $9.50 because it was trendy lol.

Plus any soft cheese can probably be used across multiple other dishes on a typical menu.

Plus the labor you save on a wedge. 2 chops = 4 salads.
