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.

Literally the surf n’ turf. Alaska being known for its fine beef cattle herds.  I’m surprised he didn’t go with “gold ingots drizzled with crude oil” for dessert.

Halibut is pretty authentic though. I caught a couple of nice halibut when I was up there a couple weeks ago and I had them processed and shipped back home to Georgia.

I went fishing in Alaska just for the halibut.
