The Presidents lunch
Greensboro -- Lunch is usually a busy time at Stamey's Barbecue restaurant on High Point Road in Greensboro.Now add the Commander-in-Chief, a Secret Service detail and a police escort to the mix.
Everything was a whirlwind by time he came in, said Barbara Bare, waitress. We suspected he was coming because we dont usually take reservations middle of lunch.
It was a last minute decision. The president's advance team called and asked for a reservation just twenty minutes before the president pulled into the parking lot.
Good thing owner Chip Stamey came into work Wednesday. We served him everything we had, said Stamey. He particularly liked the hush puppies and peach cobbler.
[Barbara Bare adds that the president ate barbeque and a lot of it with ice cream for desert.]
All that food didnt stop Mr. Bush from meeting and greeting.
He came in and spoke to everybody, said Todd Robinson, customer.
This is not the first time the president has eaten Stameys cooking. Chip Stamey said he sent take out to Mr. Bush once before when the president was in the Piedmont.

What is that food?
excuse me, but none of that looks real appetizing and I haven't eaten all day!
Better yet was what happened when I mentioned the President's visit. Waitresses, in yet still high excitement, brought Barbara Bare over to my table for a visit. She personally served the President BBQ. Here's what she had to say about him:
"Up until that moment, I had thought his eyes were brown (given TV), but he has the bluest blue eyes. He couldn't have been more approachable, friendly, polite, intelligent, appreciative. He's a fine looking, physically fit, vital, down-home, healthy man who doesn't look his age. And since the President's visit, the place has been hoppin' with massive amounts of diners."
"There's nothing fake about him." and
"We were all very comfortable with him. He has that way."
Barbara will never ever forget her time with President Bush, she was honored to serve him.
