Obama Is Not a Fan of Beets

Filed under Beets | Comments (1)

The press is now looking into the President Elect's eating habits and wondering what the White House menu will look like once he's in office. It turns out that he doesn't like beets, but he does enjoy most other foods. He and Michelle enjoy trying new foods together and dine out often.

Obama likes things spicy:

Obama does have a weakness for chips and salsa and tends to put hot sauce on everything. At Dooky Chase's Creole restaurant in New Orleans, he offended longtime owner Leah Chase by pouring hot sauce all over the gumbo she offered to fatten him up.

They also enjoy casual fare like pizza and fried chicken.

But it's not just fancy dining the Obamas like. They enjoy takeout from a neighborhood pizza joint and an island-inspired restaurant not far from their home where Michelle Obama fancies the grilled tilapia.

It's great to see they have such a varied diet and that they try to stay healthy. Like Obama, I didn't used to like beets but I have learned to love them!
