What it’s like to cook for Donald

You have said White House chefs may have to “manipulate” his food to try to get him to eat more healthy. Can you elaborate? Does that mean sneaking some tomatoes and lettuce in his burgers? Let’s say he wants a burger. Instead of doing full grounds, I’ll go half and half with turkey and put a little bit more [flavor] profiles inside of it. If he wants bacon on it, instead of pork, I’d use beef bacon, which is more crispy and more healthy. I’d make sweet potato fries or battered fries made out of vegetables with a homemade dipping sauce.

There are a couple different ways I would manipulate his diet. You can take some risks by putting a couple little extra things on a plate, even if it’s not asked for. We have an idea of Trump’s favorite cuisine — meat, potatoes and fast food. What would surprise us about his diet? He gets so much flack about the unhealthy side of him. He does try to eat healthy, but people don’t get to see that part of it. They just see the part that we want to show on social media. I mean, Bill Clinton ate just as many burgers as Donald Trump did.
