During Donald Trump’s presidency, much was written about his eating habits — his love for well-done steak, Egg McMuffins, and chocolate cake; the $5,500 fast-food feast he served the Clemson Tigers at the White House; his “I love Hispanics!” Trump Grill taco bowl; the Diet Coke panic button at his fingertips in the Oval Office….
Less has been reported about what’s on the menu for President Biden, but his tastes are not necessarily much more sophisticated. No sea urchin sushi, white truffle risotto, or pheasant under glass for him. And despite his concern for fitness (including a five-day-a-week workout routine), he’s not sipping kombucha and nibbling kale chips, either.
