Biden's brisket is ready for takeoff! ✈ President Biden was only in town for a few hours, but that doesn't mean he missed out on some world famous KC BBQ. During the president's speech in Kansas City some Gates barbeque made its way onto Air Force One.

report:

In the past, leaders and political candidates have stopped at Gates to enjoy lunch while meeting and greeting potential voters. Biden apparently didn’t have time in his schedule for a lunch stop Wednesday, but Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas made sure he was able to enjoy some award-winning barbecue.

Lucas dropped by Gates Wednesday morning and ordered several platters. Police picked up the order and delivered it to Air Force One for Biden and his delegation to enjoy on the flight back to Washington, D.C.

“We gave him, of course, our famous presidential tray, which consists of our sliced beef, he got sliced ham, he got sliced turkey, he got to try our half chicken, of course a slab of ribs, and our sausage. And of course we had to give him our signature barbecue beans and out potato salad,” Shipley-Gates said.

Don’t worry, they didn’t have to eat cold ‘cue. Air Force One has a kitchen on board, so they could heat up the Gates to-go order.


*date on video mistakenly says Dec.12, triggering a tiny twitter earth(q)uake...

How did he get BBQ on Dec. 12, 2021? It hasn’t happened yet! I knew it. Q was right! Biden can time travel. That’s how he stole the election! 🤣

17. I met Ollie once

When I was drunk and out with friends. Such a sweet man. He made me sit down and had me drink water, then informed me I was drunk because I forgot to eat before drinking. He said beans and potatoes soak up alcohol.

He was right.

18. that's a really nice story

...an xmas74 story.

I think Bill had been in KC a week or so before my drunk story.
