We’ve all seen the viral photos from Air Force One—you know—maybe the least presidential meal imaginable as President Donald Trump smiled with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
That’s more out of convenience than a taste for the finer things in life, though the commander in chief has been surprisingly open about one specific fear since taking office: food poisoning. That’s why he’s said to opt for mass-produced fast food more often than not.
But what about those times when a McDouble just won’t cut it?

Every President has been known to venture into D.C. for a night out after long days served in the Oval Office. Trump first frequented BLT Prime during his first term, an upscale steakhouse within his own branded property, Trump International Hotel.
The luxe eatery has since shuttered, but there are two other locations in popular cities still serving Trump’s go-to order.
Before Trump infamously glided down the escalator of his Trump Tower to announce his candidacy, the business magnate even launched Trump Steaks—though that venture didn’t exactly stick around, his fondness for a steak has endured.
Those looking to dine like the President can still visit BLT Prime in New York City and Miami, Florida, both serving a similar menu to its former D.C. hotspot.

So what’s on the President’s tried-and-true order?
A shrimp cocktail, French fries and a well-done steak. Trump was reported to have ordered a 28-day dry-aged New York strip at BLT Prime in 2017, according to Eater. By 2021, Washingtonian reported that his regular steak had been a bone-in rib eye or filet mignon, before the restaurant switched him to a 40-ounce tomahawk after he complained that another diner’s steak was larger.
At the current New York location, a 14-ounce New York strip, jumbo shrimp cocktail and fries would run $103 before tax and tip: $64 for the steak, $27 for the shrimp cocktail and $12 for the fries. In Doral, the same combination costs $115: $65 for the 14-ounce New York strip, $35 for the colossal shrimp cocktail and $15 for the fries.
The only question is whether you’d like to follow Trump’s order to a tee. He doesn’t take the “if my cow’s not mooin’, I ain’t chewin'” approach—he’s a well-done kind of guy.
