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.

But what will take its place when the clothesline thing gets old and overdone? Maybe a tiny drone delivering your bacon to your table ;-)
You’re right. As long as it’s a good beef hot-dog and a good bun, I wouldn’t get tired of it.
Just as long as you don't put ketchup on it.
Hey? Why the long face? ;)
Its bacon! What could go wrong? Unless my dog is in the area, then no bacon for us!
No ketchup required if served with sauteed mushrooms and onions!
I won’t embarrass my husband when we are out by using ketchup.
A small sacrifice but one I do for him.
Hot dog number one: Ketchup cheese and onions!
Dog number two: mustard, onions, kraut, and relish!
Dog number three: Chili, cheese and onions!
If ketchup on steak is what he likes, that is what he likes and being over age 21 can eat what he likes.
Grow up, eat some brain food, and get over it...
ROFLOL!
Awesome!
Eating what one enjoys is one of life’s pleasures.
It is one of the things I for which I am most grateful to God.
Relax! We are enjoying the fact that our wonderful President is a normal guy! Very refreshing!
And quietly pay for the Presidents table.
I get ahead of him and squeeze in one question, asking the President if he will be attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this year. “No,” he says with a smirk, “You like that?” The crowd around me cheers in agreement as Trump sits down with his party.
Actually, I like that too. A lot.
Love food! Recently just love beets! Who knew? I am such a carnivore!
LOL! Thanks! Now I won’t be able to sleep tonight!
Good chili on a good hot dog is heaven!
Yep!
“I made the booking based on a tip from a trusted source.”
Really? Trusted source? Who, Mr. WH Leaky?
...
My guess is someone on the Trump team tipped off a reporter who would do a fair and accurate report, while the goon from the corrupt press was locked outside.
