Obama to Host a Hawaiian-Style Luau for Congress


I'm hungry, so this sounds fantastic.

Sure, he likes his burgers and his pancakes, but for the annual congressional picnic, President Obama is eating Hawaiian style. In a nod to his home state, the POTUS is hosting the first White House luau tomorrow. Guests will chomp on some 1,200 eggs, 200 pounds of tilapia, 4,400 Manila clams, 600 pounds of red snapper, 650 pounds of pork butt, 185 racks of lamb, 160 pounds of green onion, and 20 gallons of sake, and that's just for starters. Chef Alan Wong, whose Honolulu-based restaurant has attracted the attention of the Obamas, is creating the menu.
