What’s on the menu for Donald Trump’s inaugural luncheon?

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.

I’ve had scrapple & liked it so I’d give goetta a try at breakfast. Extra crispy - just the way I like my corned beef hash.

While signing executive orders and deploying his commissioned staff to take charge of the agencies and start fixing the government while firing the bureaucratic landmines.

Or maybe serve soup beans with a nod to his "Hillbilly Elegy" roots.

My wife and I were a Paris restaurant and she ordered an appetizer with beans. They brought it out and it was soup beans and it was good.

Chatted with a wicked popular pizza maker in NJ. Totally Italian. He knew all about it. He said he would use it if he could get his hands on it. It's sausage. Tasty.

Whatever the Democrats serve, it will be bitter and raging hot.
