it's being prepared in the kitchen with Grey Poupon!

How Obama likes his Burger and Tuna Melt

So I had a chance to see some of the president’s takes on some popular favorites.. where

Barack Obama decided to see how Air Force One did burgers on his first flight on the plane as president-elect. Here’s what Obama requested from the plane’s flight attendant:



- Cooked Medium-well

- Cheddar Cheese

- Dijon Mustard (the flight attendant asked if he would like Grey Poupon, to which Obama responded, “that’s fine”)- Lettuce and Tomato

- Served with a side of salad or vegetables

- No fries?…Wait, never mind as Obama said, ”Oh, I’ll still take the fries”


Grey Poupon mustard, a flavorful condiment favorite of the president


Obama-style tuna melt served with waffle fries. The second sandwich was still being grilled while I took this pic

"According to 60 minutes, Obama can apparently also make Chinese and Indian food stemming from growing up in Hawaii and once living with an Indian roommate. Either way, the president’s got a good take on food. Thumbs up!"

Bon Appetit!

there's more.. including recipe for Tuna Melt..
