What Trump Really Eats For Dinner, According to Chef David Burke
Eater ^ | September 19, 2017 | Tim Ebner

Posted on 09/19/2017 12:18:24 PM PDT by EveningStar

That news you read about Donald Trump ordering his steak doused in ketchup—that’s fake news. Or at least that’s what David Burke, the New York chef who runs BLT Prime inside the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., says. While the president does in fact prefer his steak well-done, Burke says that ketchup was “probably for a side of French fries,” not his dry-aged New York strip...

Q: Let’s talk about the steak order heard around the world. In February, President Trump came here and ordered his steak well-done and with ketchup. What was your reaction?

Well, first off he doesn't order it with ketchup, and he doesn’t eat it with ketchup. What we make for the president normally is a piece of Dover sole. Or he’ll have a hamburger, or a steak, or a shrimp cocktail. But he usually eats Dover sole. And you know what? I have no problem with a well-done steak...

I am not sure about that but I know the reason people were told to be careful to cook pork to well done in the U.S. years ago was mostly due to trichinosis. The reason people also were careful to get chicken well done was due mostly to salmonella. The lack of parasite care for animals, and poor refrigeration, people not knowing how to properly handle meat all made the odds pretty high if you ate pork or chicken that was not well done you were likely to get sick. Medical care was not as advanced years ago, if you got trichinosis or salmonella you would likely die.

Beef is safer in general. Beef does not normally have the same issues and people did not normally get deadly illness from eating beef. By the time beef would hurt you it was visibly spoiled, and the odor would keep most from even trying to eat it. That is why it has always been common to eat beef that is not as well done. With beef though you still have to be careful with ground beef. The grinding process can allow things to contaminate the meat. Effective grinders are usually hard to clean so not always cleaned properly even in a commercial process. My mother would not buy ground beef, she ground her own fresh right before cooking it and still would not cook hamburgers any way but well done. I still don’t eat burgers that are not well done. We always treated ground beef with the same extra care and cooking as pork and chicken.

I never understood why it would bother anyone. I used to be sort of a food snob & then realized how obnoxious & pretentious that was. We all like what we like.....enjoy!!!!!

I live in the Chicago area.

And I put ketchup on my hotdogs.

Oh man now I want some bad. But the nearest market to me is an hour away! Along with char siu, the markets will often have roast duck. That is fantastic also.

I was gonna say, if he did order his steak with ketchup, so what. Stupid, fake, worthless media honing in anything useless. Just like Bush 1 and broccoli.

Well, there you go again making me hungry.

Have you ever had southern fried chicken with pancakes?

The first time I thought, this is like eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Ack!

Well, that’s some good stuff.

I’m of the camp that thinks well-done is a waste of quality beef. I’d eat it raw if my wife would let me. But hey, to each his own, I say.

according to me Trump eats the dreams of the liberal establishment and then digests all those fallacies only to digest them and shit them out to be used as fertilizer for the conservative ideals. that drives dreams and aspirations of most Americans that only want to ( Make America great).

I think I like the Pittsburgh style then. Get a crust on the outside. Medium rare on the inside. Perfectly seasoned with herbs and kosher salt. I guess I’m like Colonel Kilgore. I like it rare but not cold.

Agreed. I started with ketchup, moved along with A-1 and now have it with just a little salt, pepper and butter. Rare. Most people having changing tastes as they age. Babies and children tend to like bland food. The more we try different foods, the more we expand our palates.
