    Default "Michelin 3star restaurant invites Clemson Tigers to dine after Trump fast-food meal"

    "The owner of Alinea, the highest-rated fine dining restaurant in Chicago, has invited the college football national champion Clemson University Tigers to experience “what an actual celebration dinner should be” and promised a meal there would “be worth it.”

    "The invitation follows the White House celebration for the football team, where players were served fast food from Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's and Domino's Pizza."

    “I could care less about college football. But I'm personally inviting the Clemson Tigers team and coaches to Chicago to experience what an actual celebration dinner should be,” Nick Kokonas said in a tweet on Tuesday."

    "Kokanas said there’s nothing wrong with fast food. I like a burger as much as anyone else. At the end of the day, though, I’m betting they’ve had that, as football players, a thousand times."

    "Kokanas said he and his team members know how to “appropriately” throw a celebration for “the appropriate occasion,
    We’re not billionaires, but we can afford to do it the right way,” Kokonas continued"

    Hope the team takes the guy up on the offer, could even invite Trump to show him how it is suppose to be done, but no way Trump would appear, he couldn't make it all about him, nor get his cheap two minute photo op out of it

    Step 1) Latch onto the latest progressive cause/meme
    Step 2) Alienate a portion of your potential customer base
    Step 3) Profit * .5

    “I could care less about college football..."

    The guy is such an idiot he doesn't even know the phrase is "couldn't care less"

    I doubt their fancy 3 star restaurant serves McGangBangs

    Or, to point out the obvious, and I doubt a Michelin restaurant in Chicago is too worried about alienating anyone in Trump's base, hell, most of them are too scared to even go to Chicago, too many of those kind of kids wearing hoodies

    But I bet you thought this was pretty relevant at the time

    He thinks the Trump faithful are eating at Alinea? Is he alright? It's what they'd call elitist food. Cheapest tasting menu is a $190, and reservations book out months in advance.

    No, if you search the archives, I had very few problems with Obama. I didn't like the ACA mandate and the gun thing with the mexican gangs. Try to find me saying anything about Obama other than those two things. Go ahead. See what you can find.

    I miss going to Chicago. My brother used to live there, and we would go to some good restaurants. Nothing like Alinea, but one I had to book well in advance, called Siena Tavern.
