Since the hotel industry is never one to shy away from banking off of whatever political happening may roll in some extra dough, the Loews Madison Hotel is offering a special Inauguration Menu from January 10-25, 2009 to give you ample time to celebrate the inauguration of your candidate of choice -- or drown your sorrows in a bellyfull of toffee pudding or praline souffle.
Chef Arnel Esposo of Palette restaurant will cook up his versions of official inaugural luncheon food from over the years -- that is, a three-course, prix fixe menu inspired by (not replicating!) the food served at the luncheons hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies over the last few decades.
Diners will be presented with a choice of an appetizer, entree and dessert served at previous official Inauguration luncheons from every President since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1957 to George W. Bush in 2005.
That list excludes Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, whose inaugurations did not include the celebratory luncheons (woo fun facts!)
The real Inauguration luncheon traditionally features cuisine from the president and VP's home states, and we're not going to be making any jokes about any candidates eating polar bears or anything.
