There’s no celebrity chef tasked with whipping up Thursday night’s state dinner honoring President of South Korea Lee Myung-bak, but the menu is still mouth-watering. For the dinner held in the East Room, Executive Chef Cris Comerford and Pastry Chef William Yosses will serve the following, according to the White House via POLITICO 44:

First Course Butternut Squash Bisque, Honey Poached Cranberries, Virginia Cured Ham, Pumpkin Seed Praline, Crème Fraiche

Second Course Early Fall Harvest Salad on Daikon Sheets, Masago Rice Pearl Crispies, Rice Wine Vinaigrette

Main Course Texas Wagyu Beef, Orange-Ginger Fondue, Sauteed Kale, Roasted Kabocha Squash

Dessert Chocolate Malt Devils Food Layers With Pear and Almond Brittle

An American wine will be paired with each course

Bump gunnyg.

Wookie’s gonna dive right in...Hope the South Korean President grabs some food fast while it’s there!!!

Obama collected more campaign contributions from Wall St. firms than any other candidate in history. I think he’s qualified to be both a Wall Street AND a White House Fatcat.

[haircutter]

does anyone know who is invited to this dinner??? who are the guests eating all this great food?

the president trashes Republicans daily are any showing up to dine with him??

wonder how many diamonds michelle will be wearing tonight? will she wear a wig or her own slicked down nappy hair?

damn I can't wait to send them to Chicago. and take their personal chef along with them...

any one seen michelle's mom since Aug?? when she and michelle slipped out in the shade of darkness to go to Utah???? did she quit her babysitting job?

[fanfan]

I think I remember $100-120/lb back in 2009 when Zero started “working” (LOL!), but that was Japanese Wagu, and this is Texas Wagu.

[freekitty]

She eats that a lot.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I wonder how much it costs us to have hired one of her handmaidens whose job it is to tie the bib around her neck and wipe the grease off of her mouf so she doesn’t get slop on her Mardi Gras dress.

And THIS fat piggie with the big fat butt will say

Weeeeeee weeeeee weeeeee!!!!!!! All the way back to Chi Town.

oink oink oink...

The 1867 Reconstruction legislature of the State of Lousiana voted themselves about $250,000 in Christmas hams. Nothing has changed.

[Grizzled Bear]

Mo-bama’s caboose is bigger than Kim Yoon-ok’s entire body, Yikes!

Lots of Japanese food for Koreans.

Not very good history between those countries.

[Have Ruck - Will Travel]

" Early Fall Harvest Salad on Daikon Sheets, Masago Rice Pearl Crispies... Texas Wagyu Beef,...,Roasted Kabocha Squash"

Feeding Japanese food to Koreans... PRICELESS!!!

[little jeremiah]

It’s crude, rude and unbecoming for a first lady to bare so much skin. It’s downright disrespectful and sickening.

[andy58-in-nh]

I’m sure Michelle will work off the calories with her Shakeweight. ;-).

[visualops]

Yeah that’s kind-of weird. Why not traditional American fall food? why make a strange combo of American and Japanese?

[bfree]

I hope both FUBO and FUMO choke on it.

[Morgana]

Well Grandpa it don't matter whats for supper. The wookie will eat it all before we get to it.
