The Prince & The Pizza Chef
The One orders a trendy pizza chef flown to the White House for a party:
When you’re the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do – even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.
Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.
He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn.
Mr. Sommers’ restaurant routinely charges $23–oops, sorry, that’s “23“–for a mere 12in pie, and a whopping “5″ for an apple, which I guess is what passes for dessert in “working class” St. Louis.
No elitism there….
I wonder, too, whether Mr. Sommers and his business associate traveled in coach?
Get the Yankee Sage delivered!

Man, what a pretentious menu! Not a real pizza in the whole list, just pretense on a crust. No 4 meat carnivore pizzas, as eaten by the right thinking. The use of the Pi symbol, how cute! I agree, “5″ for a slice of apple Pi seems a bit steep. Pi, where the Elitests meet to eat. This really indicates a few things about the current President, doesn’t it?
