The guests at Sunday evening's black tie White House dinner for the nation's governors feasted on servings of Chesapeake crab agnolottis, wagyu beef, Nantucket scallops and huckleberry cobbler for dessert.

Grits and turnip greens are a bad memory of my childhood and adolescence

Grits, two eggs sunny side side up, country ham with biscuits and gravy. I don't know anyone in their right mind that eats turnip greens, its collards or nothing.

Waffles and grits must be for the house servants..Lord Obama would rather dine on $100 per pound imported beef. Somehow Michelle is starting sound like Marie Antoinette.
