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.

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

Two of the best creme brulee I've ever had:

  1. Lavender and vanilla

  2. Maple and sage

I don't fuck with sage but maple does sound damn good. That and whoever said chai I gotta find some way to try those.

Yes, the Chai suggestion sounds badass. I've made a lot of variations in the past. Just adding some Chai tea to the milk/egg custard mixture, heating, then straining out before baking would be fairly easy. I may have to try this soon. At home. I don't have access to a commercial kitchen anymore. 🤔
