The author attested to that as well....” This heart-warming (though possibly indigestion causing) episode demonstrates once again how nimble the President is on his feet. He thinks quickly. ...The White House cooks are unavailable. He wants to do something for a great college football team. He improvises, brilliantly.

They are expanding, heard TX. It’s all about the distribution and food control for them. Chick-Fil-A is similar.

Their biggest store, open 24 hours, is in Las Vegas.

Heat lamps. Was served only when they arrived. I’ve done dozens and dozens of catering events. Keeping food warm is easy.

And the idea is to move the line. That team and staff had to be, what?, over 100?

I doubt there is a CFA near the White House

“Why would I want to consume any more Spectator garbage?”

Which brings up the question of why you even hang out at FR.

Yesterday you were bitching like some CNN toady about how tacky it was for Trump to have served hamburgers.

Yeah but your waistline doesn’t. I ate far too many of those. Took awhile to work those off. God I love burgers.

Right here in Grapevine TX, about 3 miles from me. This is midpoint between Dallas and Fort Worth, near DFW airport.

Never tried one because the roads are a PITA, even though they’ve been there about 3-4 years.

Vid clips and photos I saw showed each player with 3-4 boxes of sandwiches and a couple of the french fry containers (which were white with the White House logo).

The linebackers and 300# linemen probably consume 8-10,000 calories per day. ...(Must be lucrative for the local Roto-Rooter franchises around the practice facilities and athletes’ dorms)

Thank you. Yes, he’s on my crap list. I hope the Clemson team ignores his offer.

Yeah, he should have served fried chicken and watermelon. /s

Maybe watercress sandwiches, wine and cheese. /s

P.S. Are those “SALADS” on that silver tray??????

All I heard about were hamberders (sic).

Heat lamps.

***********

Or in the case of the White House and their hosting large events
I’d expect they have plenty of warming ovens, etc. This wasn’t a
really big deal as feeding the attendees a meal isn’t normally a
part of the event. That was Trump being Trump. And he succeeded.

Agreed. That thought crossed my mind.

Salads in the containers shown here.

Bring it on we be hungry.

This is Trump being Trump as a meal isn't normally served at this event if I remember correctly.

They opened one here in Grants Pass, Oregon and the owner flew in for the grand opening.

She’s the youngest female American billionaire and she inherited the business.

I haven’t eaten there yet, but everyone I know who has says it’s delicious!

I don’t remember the last burger I had, this is making me hungry!

BOL! My wife, a retired RN, is also an excellent cook.

She cooks up great and healthy meals based on the Mediterranean guides.

She read the article on the hamburgers at the White House.

Then, she said, time for hamburgers. It was raining outside, and I was not able to grill them as usual.

Later that day, we bought a pound of grass fed hamburger meat with a minimal amt of fat. She got Swiss cheese for her burgers, and I got pepper jack cheese. We got some good big heirloom tomatoes and a Cali mixed lettuce package.

After she was pan grilled the burgers and removed them from the pan. Then, I was pan grilling some sliced red onions with Himalayan sea salt and fresh Ground pepper in a friend’s home raised Virgin Olive oil and the hamburger drippings

We served them with Oro Wheat Sandwich Thins, the Heirloom Tomatoes, Cheeses and fresh lettuces. There were zero left overs.
