Desperate to find something about Biden, the right is now criticizing how he orders his food.

President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden raised eyebrows when they reportedly ordered the same dish at a posh D.C. restaurant in February.

The Bidens went to Red Hen, an Italian restaurant in Bloomingdale. The couple ordered two bowls of the restaurant's signature rigatoni, along with grilled bread and butter, chicory salad and a few glasses of Barbera wine.

The rigatoni dish – which is made with red sauce, fennel sausage ragù and Pecorino Romano – is reportedly popular at the restaurant. But social media users were still baffled that the Bidens ordered the same meal

2. It's the new tan suit. nt

[nuxvomica]

3. That is one of my favorite dishes

It was always a big hit growing up when my mom made that exact same recipe, with the homemade fennel sausage included. It's no surprise they would both order it.

[PCIntern]

4. Red Hen??? Red sauce???

He’s a Commie!!!

just in case..

[Celerity]

5. Why are you posting Fox News here? You linkwashed it via the MSN aggregator, but your OP is Fox News

and it's an attack article on Biden

[Sucha NastyWoman]

7. Maybe to show how ridiculous Fox New attacks

On Biden are?

I get their point.

[diehardblue]

17. Your response is offensive. Whitewashing? Step back.

[niyad]

31. LINKwashing. Read again.

[Celerity]

36. I said linkwashing, which it is. I am not going to step back. This OP is the posting of RW dross.

Linkwashing: Using a non direct, innocuous directing link that camouflages the posting of a source that if directly linked would be very problematic.

[diehardblue]

43. Link, wash, whatever. I have never supported right wing Fox news and I won't start

now because of your accusation. Done!

[Chakaconcarne]

37. We already know Fox news is full of Bullshit...

and if we wanted to be reminded of that bullshit we could head over there to get it.

Not sure why we need to be reminded of it here on DU? and aren't we supporting FOX by that shit getting posted here at DU?

This is my opinion.

[BlackSkimmer]

41. Thank you.

It amazes me how much Fox crap I see here daily.

[BlackSkimmer]

40. Reading comprehension.

I cannot stress how important that is in life, but especially here lol!

[Boomerproud]

6. Slow news day eh?

Some folks are easily "baffled" I guess.

[AZLD4Candidate]

8. Ordergate. Foodgate! Quick, let's see what Hunter Biden's laptop says about it,

Give it a break, MAGAts. . .Biden is dull as dishwater boring and there is NOTHING there.

[Skittles]

9. what's wrong with ordering the same meal?

I've done that sometimes with a date or a friend - pretty normal for popular dishes. Repukes are really swinging low now, LOL.

[eShirl]

10. Why is that unusual?

[ToxMarz]

11. Because nobody orders like TFG orders at McDonalds

[True Blue American]

12. On that subject

We have reached the point of no one cares what the glutton eats,or how he cheats at golf.

We are much more interested in what crime he committed is in the Prosecutors hands today.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Not a peep about the fact that his wife is never with him, either.

[Delmette2.0]

13. I love days, weeks of calm, peaceful, boring news from our President.

It is so much better than the former administration.

[niyad]

34. Rachel said something once about a sign of good government was not having

to think about it for days or weeks.

[Delmette2.0]

35. Rachel got that one right!

[ecstatic]

39. Right! Lol.

I'm hoping to get some of my years back. I aged like 15 years during trmp's crazy, cruel and chaotic term.

[Delmette2.0]

42. I am getting calmer without the daily WTF's.

[betsuni]

14. I have to post this again.

[Iris]

16. This is hilarious!

Thanks for sharing!

[GoCubsGo]

23. Some things never change, eh?

Our MSM is still doing The Onion's work for them...

[gratuitous]

47. "Let's go, before we come to our senses!"

Cherry of the maraschino persuasion that was.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Like nobody in the world hasn't ever said, "I'll have what they're having."

.

Funny, there's a steak house by me that's renowned for having the best prime rib in the area.

At every table, perhaps half of the people order prime rib.

.

[niyad]

33. "I'll have what SHE's having!" My favourite line in "When Harry Met Sally". Estelle

Reiner to the waiter after the orgasm scene.

[Brenda]

18. Sounds delish but

I thought Joe didn't drink alcohol. Read that somewhere.

[brooklynite]

19. Um, nothing in the article suggests criticism from "the right".

Unless the Washington Post and Washington are now "right wing rags"

[yardwork]

27. The Washington Post routinely goes after Biden this way.

Smarmy "some people say" articles like this are now common.

[brooklynite]

30. I didn't see anything in the WP article I'd call smarmy.

In addition to being a national political paper, it’s also the paper for Washington. They’re going to run human interest stories about things that happen there.

[yardwork]

44. They "raised eyebrows when they reportedly ordered the same dish"

[brooklynite]

45. And that's smarmy because.....why?

[spanone]

20. 'BAFFLED'

Why the fuck would a media outlet even print this shit?

[GoCubsGo]

21. You. Have. Got. To. Be. Shitting. Me.

They both like rigatoni with red sauce? What is this world coming to?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. Sounds yummy. I can't blame them. I probably would order two bowls. Both for me.

[tanyev]

25. Wow, The Onion could just reprint that word for word.

Who the hell cares if two people eating out order the same thing?

[yardwork]

26. Is this supposed to be satire?

My wife and I ate out a few days ago at a Thai restaurant. We shared a pot of soup and ordered the same dishes, because that's what we wanted to eat!

[Hortensis]

28. Of course. SOP. But at least now I know what to serve if they happen to drop by.

[dembotoz]

29. this is lent, how many of them ordered the fish special on friday

go to any bar/restaurant in rural red wisconsin and see how many friday fish orders are taken.
Maybe potato pancakes instead of fries.....
Only variance is which type of alcohol to go with it..this is wisconsin...It WILL be alcohol....Brandy old fashioned or beer

[niyad]

32. Proof positive that some people have wayyyyy too much time on their hands.

[ecstatic]

38. For me it shows that both knew what they wanted

and didn't want to have to share with the other. As a fellow scorpion and germaphobe I wholly reject the idea of diversifying orders and picking from other people's plates--especially when a limited number of shrimp is involved. I play along sometimes but I don't like that unless I really hate my own order.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

46. Sounds like a great endorsement for the rigatoni dish, ...

... and for chicory salad, whatever that is.

I hope the Barbera wine was domestic. But, wherever it's from, Barbera is usually reasonably priced. I hope they split a bottle, they deserve it.
