What Was on the Menu at President-Elect Donald Trump's Thanksgiving Dinner
•
Your Thanksgiving spread didn't have anything on President-elect Donald Trump's.
The incoming president spent the holiday at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, with his family after hours of calls to prepare for his transition to the White House.
Earlier Thursday, Trump tweeted that he was working to get the Carrier Corporation to keep its plant in Indiana. Officials said his Thanksgiving was shared with family over a five-course meal.
Below is the menu:
First Course Large Florida Stone Crabs Oysters on the Half Shell Jumbo Shrimp Middle Neck Clams
Second Course Mr. Trump’s Wedge Salad Farm Fresh Deviled Eggs Roasted Vegetable Cous Cous Salad Ahi Tuna Martinis
Third Course Main Lobster Bisque Local Vegetable Minestrone Soup
Fourth Course Oven Roasted Turkey Traditional Stuffing Sweet Mashed Potatoes House Made Gravy Herb Marinated Beef Tenderloin Steamed Vegetables Whipped Potatoes Warm Popovers Horseradish Cream Chef Carved Leg of Lamb Grilled Pita and Tzatziki Sauce Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass Curried Vegetables, Coconut Shellfish Broth Red Wine Braised Short Ribs Herb Roasted Potatoes Natural Braising Jus Grilled Diver Scallops Roasted Vegetable Ratatouille
Fifth Course Three Layer Trump Chocolate Cake Pumpkin Pie Toasted Coconut Cake Chocolate Eclairs Pecan Pie Warm Chocolate Brownie Pockets Creamy Key Lime Pie Hot Apple Crisp
Wondering how that spread stacks up with the one prepared for the current Commander-in-Chief? The Hill reports that the Obamas' final Thanksgiving dinner at the White House included a three-course meal featuring mini BLTs, mini pizzas and pigs-in-a-blanket as hors d'ouvres, a thyme roasted turkey for the main course and six kinds of pies for dessert.
