President Barack Obama takes the oath of office from Chief Justice John Roberts at the ceremonial swearing-in on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol during the 57th Presidential Inauguration in Washington on Jan. 21, 2013. The inaugural committee released the lunch menu following the swearing-in ceremonies for President-elect Donald Trump. Some 200 guests will be tucking into a first course of Maine lobster and Gulf shrimp in a saffron sauce, Angus beef from Virginia with Idaho potatoes and a dark chocolate sauce, and a chocolate souffle with cherry vanilla ice cream.
NEW YORK – Donald Trump’s first meal as president of the United States isn’t too far from the typical power lunch for a billionaire businessman – lobster, beef and a rich chocolate dessert.
The inaugural committee Thursday released the lunch menu following the swearing-in ceremonies on Friday and Trump and some 200 guests will be tucking into a first course of Maine lobster and Gulf shrimp in a saffron sauce, Angus beef from Virginia with Idaho potatoes and a dark chocolate sauce, and a chocolate souffle with cherry vanilla ice cream.
The three-course menu isn’t too far from previous lunches other new commanders in chief have enjoyed, with lobster, in some form, usually making the first course.
