The president was heading to his new flagship property in D.C., the Trump Hotel, for a private dinner at the BLT Steakhouse inside. Once the president arrived at the location, the reporter who was on assignment to cover him, Jordan Fabian of The Hill, was not let into the building and had to wait in the van outside for the remainder of the dinner, without a guest list or details of what was happening inside.
Inside the restaurant, I was seated at a table that had booked hours earlier, directly next to where Trump would be dining. I made the booking based on a tip from a trusted source. I was ready to tell the story no one else would get to see and was personally fascinated to observe how a restaurant prepares for a president — and how Trump interacts when he believes no press are present...
6:45 PM: Our bacon tower appetizer arrives. Highly recommended.

Great on steak: Balsamic Vinegar Reduction Sauce; smells divine while it’s cooking:

Glad you have something in common with the President! But if a steak is done right! Don’t need any type of sauce!
Yea, that’s just wrong. Salt, pepper, are the only seasoning necessary for a steak.
Liver on the other hand.... boy howdy, th re isn’t enough seasonings to make that palatable.
Very interesting — enjoyed.
Great post ... odd reading something by a ‘journalist’ that’s NOT dripping with hatred.
Thanks for posting. This was fun to read. Found myself smiling through all but the leak where the President would be dining out.
That’s what I thought. Putting catsup on steak is the first negative thing I’ve learned about the president.
Bacon's good on anything. There isn't a person on this thread that wouldn't eat it off a clothesline. Some would even lick the clothesline afterwards.
LOL! But not in a Trump restaurant ;-)
It was all public knowledge already, wasn’t it?
I like my steak medium rare to medium and can enjoy it without ketchup or steak sauce, but i love the flavor of ketchup with beef.
Even with ketchup an over done steak is tough to eat. Pun intended:)
Enough with the food shaming! LOL
Have you been spying on me FRiend?
LOL
Lots of protection there.
Interesting read, and I want that bacon appetizer!
I’m with you. Steak medium rare, no catsup. But I forgive President Trump, I knew he couldn’t be perfect.
Pressure from the steak purist!
Yeah, scary stuff.
