(Grover, NC) "Our former White House Chef, Marti Mongiello just got off the phone with CNN International this weekend, and YES, it's true! President Biden LOVES ICE CREAM! states Antwain Thomas, Chief Development Officer at the US Presidential Culinary Museum. He is also a big fan of pasta and red sauce.
When it comes to Ice Cream, his favorite is from a fellow Chef, Jeni Britton Bauer! "Jeni owns Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream of Columbus, Ohio," states Thomas. Chef Marti has been fielding calls from colleagues across the world. "Everyone wants to call and then asks, so what's he eating?"
In 2016, Biden said, "I'm Joe Biden and I love ice cream!" He also loves a famous, "Bobbie," sandwich. The nationally acclaimed best-seller with homemade turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo in a hoagie roll from Capriotti's Sandwich Shop of Delaware!
"His favorite flavor is Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flakes!" mentions Thomas, who worked on the public education policy with the Obama Biden White House. "President Biden is like many of our modern Presidents when it comes to a treat now and then. Nixon loved a Carl's Jr. hamburger, Clinton enjoyed McDonald's and still eats burgers today with the new plant-based burgers, Trump loves Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Big Mac, so when we saw President Biden in a Dairy Queen turning a Blizzard upside down for the camera - we loved it!!!"
