"While everything is pretty much top-notch, the fries are always soggy," Chaudhary said.
The menu tends to reflect the preferences of the president, who generally eats the same thing as the rest of the travelers, said Mark Knoller, a CBS News correspondent who has reported on every president since Gerald R. Ford.
Jim Watson, an Agence France-Presse photojournalist and "picky eater" who subsists on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on presidential trips, said George W. Bush's plane featured more meat and potatoes. One day in 2002 when Bush was in Florida to promote fitness, the official Air Force One lunch, printed on gold-edged menu cards for every passenger, consisted of a corned beef sandwich, steak fries and strawberry cheesecake. (Bush ordered off the menu that day, choosing egg salad on toast.)
Ronald Reagan was always popping jelly beans, a habit that spread to others on his plane, said Kenneth T. Walsh, a journalist for US News & World Report who wrote a book about Air Force One. And before going vegan after leaving office, Bill Clinton had a well-known fondness for burgers and fries.
