The writer of the article didn’t even name the good chef. This is typical of today’s fake media.
As far as this one goes, I think this is more typical of Joe Biden. Like his "Don't jump!", he's probably used this tired old line at about 30,000 dinners where he had no idea who the "chef" was, or even cared.
Don't pin this one on the writer. It's just another example of Joe thinking he's being clever.
