Obama, Biden: 'Hell burgers' in Virginia
by Mark Silva
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have lunch together often, but not often at a place called Ray's Hell Burger.
"Maybe it is the economy,'' our colleague, Michael Muskal, writes at The Ticket. "Maybe it was the desire to flee the bubble, however briefly. Maybe they just wanted to show everyone they really are just plain folks. Maybe, despite vegetarians, real men do bond better over burnt flesh.''
Whatever the reason, the White House power lunch today was held at an Arlington, Va., eatery in a strip mall known for 10-ounce burgers that cost $6.95 and, according to reports from the scene, potato puffs.
Tim Murray took Obama's order and money. "There's still some debate among press on exactly what Obama ordered,'' the pool reports from the scene, "since it was hard to hear. He definitely had a burger. I heard him say "basic cheeseburger, medium well." But someone else heard him say "Swiss mushroom burger." He definitely asked Mr. Murray for "spicy mustard, if you have it."
Biden ordered a swiss cheese burger with jalapeno peppers. And talk about transparency: He paid for his order separately.
They were out and back in less than 45 minutes -- an extra-long presidential motorcade helps with that detail.
