After President Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20, he will then sit down for a luncheon at the U.S. Capitol hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC).
But what’s on the menu?
While the exact details for the 2025 event have yet to be released, if history is any proof, diners can expect to be served a three-course meal featuring a seafood dish, a meat entrée and a dessert – probably with ice cream.
As Trump now calls Florida home, it would not be a surprise to see dishes influenced by the Sunshine State’s legendary cuisine – or perhaps a dish with a nod to Vice President J.D. Vance’s Ohio roots.
In 2017, the last time an Inaugural Luncheon was held, Trump and the approximately 200 luncheon guests had a three-course meal.
(The 2021 event was not held due to the coronavirus pandemic.)
The first course was Maine lobster and gulf shrimp topped with saffron sauce and peanut crumble, followed by a main of grilled Seven Hills Angus beef with dark chocolate and juniper jus and potato gratin.
Dessert was chocolate souffle with cherry vanilla ice cream.
The 2017 menu was quite similar in structure to the menu at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013.
There, guests were served steamed lobster and New England chowder, followed by grilled bison, “red potato horseradish cake & wild huckleberry reduction,” and a dessert of “Hudson Valley Apple Pie,” sour cream ice cream, aged cheese and honey.

So Christine scores bupkis. Kinda like those elusive Davos menus.
So this entire article is pure speculation.

He should serve hamburgers. From McDonalds. That he made himself. ;-)
A giant helping of woop-ass.
Where's the kale, tofu and bugs? Oh yeah, that's just for the "little people."
cbs news-—The inaugural ceremonies of the president-elect and vice president-elect are planned by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. Led this year by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, the committee oversees eight events on Inauguration Day:
the procession to the Capitol;
the vice president’s swearing-in ceremony;
the president’s swearing-in ceremony;
the inaugural address;
the honorary departure of the outgoing president and vice president;
the signing ceremony, during which the new president signs nominations, memorandums, proclamations or executive orders;
the inaugural luncheon;
and the pass in review, during which the president and vice president review military troops before leading the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.
The theme of this year’s ceremonies is “Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise.”
Trump needs to have a food taster at all times during the inaugural festivities. I wouldn’t be surprised of the deep state trying to poison him.
I’ve heard whale sushi and manatee soup is part of the menu.
Knowing Trump, it will be Bic Mack with fries and diet Coke
Oh, yeah. Just gotta tuck into some Ohio cuisine!
Stupid article! Why not wait until the details are released? Waste of time!
“Let them eat cake.”
Waste of time!
Well a few of us added our time to the waste basket.....
Washed down with a big glass of liberal tears.
Let’s speculate that the Democrat Resistance luncheon will be serving crow and sour grapes
Goetta? Beer? Corn? Kinda fancy.
Goetta? American haggis?
McDonald’s
