THE PRESIDENT’S FOOD IS UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE
“If you send the president a Christmas ham, it’ll never get to him,” says Robinson. Every bite of food the President eats is prepared under the watchful eye of the Secret Service, who makes sure White House chefs aren’t flavoring it with arsenic. While traveling, Navy stewards come along to prepare food. And when you see photo-ops of the President at a local diner, it’s not likely he ate that food.
Surprisingly, he can still enjoy Domino’s like the rest of us. “If the president wants a pizza, they’ll have it delivered to the Naval Observatory or another address nearby,” Robinson says. “Since the [pizzeria] doesn’t know who it’s for, it reduces the danger.”
