Magnolia's Cafe

I just read with some interest that President Obama paid a surprise lunch visit to Magnolia's Cafe on Park Avenue in Rochester today after giving a speech at Buffalo.

Even though I don't live in Rochester, I know that neighborhood because of two retired providers and one active one.

I know that there are some disappointed Buffalonians who were wondering if he were going to hit up Duff's again, or decide to check out Anchor Bar or Charlie the Butcher.

It’s now common knowledge that the President ordered some type of tomato soup with artichoke hearts and shredded cheeses and half of a grilled cheese sandwich.

The owner of Magnolias had the wherewithal to, after the Presidential visit, order more stock in the anticipation of patrons coming in and saying, “I’ll have what the President had”. And that’s exactly what happened.

As an aside: My definition of a true patriot, in my humble opinion, like Obama and his policies or not, he’s still our president, and he should be welcomed to our city and treated with respect.
Nick Tahou Hots was supposed to be one of several places that were considered before Magnolia's was chosen.

If President Obama had gone there and ordered the garbage plate, he would have been in deep trouble back home with Michelle!

Surprised he didn't go to Popeye's.

If they ran out of chicken again he could have sent in a drone.

Which one of you Rochester guys tried in vain to get his attention at Magnolia's?
