Apparently there's a historically low occurrence of DUIs, cheating spouses, and other fun stuff in Hollywood, because the most salacious Tinsel Town gossip site, TMZ, has turned their focus--five days later--on President Obama's Friday visit to Five Guys burgers. TMZ is reporting--for your prurient interest and potential outrage--that the bill for the President's burger run was a whopping $72.40, and they've even broken it down, almost to the individual fry. It's also hilarious that the ad with the well-endowed woman on the side of the TMZ blogpost not-so-subtly references Shepard Fairey, the President's best known portrait artist. Fairey's art co is called "Obey Giant." The sub-headline for the post is pretty awesome, too:TMZ locked down the entire order -- down to the toppings -- an order that Obama paid for with cold, hard American cash.
- Cheeseburger with mustard, tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeno (for OBAMA)
- Little cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup
- Bacon cheeseburger with mustard, relish, onion
- Little hamburger with lettuce and tomato
- Grilled cheese with everything
- Cheeseburger with mushroom, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard
- 2 reg cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, pickles
- Cheeseburger with ketchup (for Brian Williams)
- 10 orders of fries
It's kind of amazng when even a gossip site that covers movie stars has an interest in Obama food, huh? Ob Fo would like to extend deep thanks to TMZ, however, for doin' the tiny math. Over here at the Foodorama, we're used to dealing in billions of dollars, for instance for Ag subsidies, and details like the chump change required for burgers and fries hardly causes a stir.
