OBAMA RESTAURANTS

To Obama, Michelle and Barack, like dining out, and like fine dining. And it should be understood "classy". Unlike Bush, less sophisticated tastes, the food easily accommodable ranch, the Obamas have a weakness for haute cuisine. As young professionals soon reached a situation wealthy bourgeois in his Chicago neighborhood Obama acquired the habit of going out to see what's new gastronomic around. And that have continued after moving to the White House.

"POTUS and FLOTUS have dined at Vermilion today to celebrate Valentine's Day," the brief part of the February 14 night from the number reached 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the presidential residence. Although the acronym ("president of the United States", "first lady of the United States") show much the American way of life accelerated, the reference to the Vermilion restaurant in the nearby town of Alexandria, indicates that the first couple of EE . States. did not go for '"fast food", but spent time and money, but without excesses that could be criticized, to celebrate the day of lovers.

The Obamas are the tenants of the White House that more are coming to dinner. So many nights, late, statements are issued terse operational reporting that the president and his wife have been in one or another restaurant (as presidential destalla any movement outside the White House). For security reasons, the information is made public when the marriage is already back, but that does not stop collecting place names and addresses and then swing by and check the preferences of Obama.

But Obama not only satisfy the tastes of their own, but must also complete national cuisines, including Cajun menus originating from the vicinity of New Orleans served in okra, a restaurant in the town of Manassas, and the delights of Georgia that may be enjoyed at Georgia Brown's.

Outside the ceremonial agapes at the White House when President Obama takes to eat a Washington, usually choose something more prosaic, especially if it is for the most frugal "lunch". If that point is to show how the United States, nothing better than sitting down to eat burgers and fries. Obama took Russian President Dmitry Medvedev common to Ray's Hell Burger.
