President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama broke off from teenage daughters Sasha and Malia for a night out

At the Honolulu, Hawaii, restaurant a 13-15 course, prix fixe meal costs a cool $295 a person and wine pairings add another $130 a head

The total tab often nears $1,000 after taxes and tip

Paintings that decorate the extravagant 32-seat restaurant are valued at more than $10 million a piece

The president and first lady treated themselves to a five star dinner on New Year's Day at renowned Honolulu, Hawaii, restaurant Vintage Cave, where a 15 course, prix fixe meal costs a cool $295 a person, wine pairings add another $130 a head and the total tab often nears $1,000 after taxes and tip.

Formally an Asian cuisine restaurant, Vintage Cave recently began serving contemporary French-American food after Jonathan Mizukami, of Napa Valley's The French Laundry fame, replaced the restaurant's founding executive chef, the Pacific Business News reports.

An example menu posted to YELP lists courses that include caviar, cabbage from Hirabara Farm, Jidori egg yolk, foie gras, King Crab, caramelized white chocolate and Candy Cap Cheesecake.

That’s a similar idea to Pork and Sauerkraut, but just from a different culture. Health, wealth, love, and other blessings for the New Year!!!!

While the poor residents of Illinois struggle with $25,000 per person state debt, Baraq, MooseChelle, Malaria, and Sharia live like potentates.

“The president and first lady treated themselves to a five star dinner...”

You mean WE treated them... I estimate a 5% chance he opened his wallet.

Wealthy cronies pay the bills.
The ones who make billions via govt policies.
Wait ‘til the Obama’s start collecting the POTUS pardon bribes in Jan 2017.

Yes indeed. My wife is from North Carolina, where it’s apparently a well-established tradition.

A very happy and blessed New Year to you and yours.

My husband made Emeril Lagasse’s New England Clam Chowder. It was ass kicking.

My mother always cooked a fresh ham on New Year’s Day. I no longer know anyone who considers New Year’s Day as a holiday deserving a special meal.

Obama will command $250k a speech for the rest of his life from the nutbars who worship him.

Politics is good business. A politician with marxist leanings will make an EXCELLENT living in this country.

And as ironic as it may seem, I'm certain Obama will tell you he did indeed 'build that' as he rakes in all that cheddar.

My wife and I had Chinese food (lasted two days) for $29.00 (prices have risen a lot under Obie and the First Wookie).

I’m sure glad that the Obamas are just part of the “common people”. Otherwise I’d say that they are fucking leftist, mouth-stuffing hypocrites.

Keep up the gluttony, entitled Obamagrifters.

Such habits and choices make for bad eternal destinations, but you are completely corrupt and clueless.

Sucks to be you!

Vengeance is the Lord’s, something about burning coals.

Eat, drink, and enjoy! How about another ice cream treat for the fam?
