TRUMP GRILL COULD BE THE WORST RESTAURANT IN AMERICA

[elleng]

And it reveals everything you need to know about our next president.

'Halfway through a recent late lunch at the Trump Grill—the clubby steakhouse in the lobby of Trump Tower that has recently become famous through the incessant media coverage of its namesake landlord, and the many dignitaries traipsing through its marbled hall to kiss his ring—I sensed the initial symptoms of a Trump overdose. Thanks to an unprecedented influx of diners, we were sitting at a wobbly overflow table outside the restaurant, in the middle of a crush of tourists, some of whom were proposing to their partners, or waiting to buy Trump-branded merchandise, or sprinting to the bathroom.

As my companions and I contemplated the most painless way to eat our flaccid, gray Szechuan dumplings with their flaccid, gray innards, as a campy version of “Jingle Bells” jackhammered in the background, a giant gold box tied with red ribbon toppled onto us. Trump, it seemed, was already fighting against the War on Christmas.'>>>

1. so this is the piece that set trumplethinkskin off about VF???

[Generator]

2. Yeah but he's hated the editor of Vanity Fair

for years.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Yup.

What a jackass.

[MadBadger]

4. Really unfair to Guy Fieri

[PoliticAverse]

5. What no mention of the cost of that outstanding fare? n/t

[MFM008]

6. At his grill?

You get a fat greasy overdone meal covered in maggots.

7. I heard the cook peed in the soup.

Someone said.....

[niyad]

9. somebody was watching "the help"-- that scene still cracks me up.

8. "Donald Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich person", Fran Lebowitz recently observed.

14. Tina Nguyen will be receiving death threats in... 3... 2... 1...

[niyad]

16. sadly, you are probably correct.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. That is one of the funniest restaurant reviews! Even Rainforest Cafe presents kid's food better!

[forgotmylogin]

13. As hokey as Rainforest Cafe was

I went there probably four times back in the day and the food was always outstanding - very much worth being surrounded by mechanical gorillas.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. We liked it -- Perhaps they're in competition with Chef Mickey, though no mention of cockroaches.

11. The pictures looked hideous.

An overdone steak thrown on some mashed potatoes in a puddle of watery juice with broccoli rolling off the side resembled a traffic accident.

A conciliatory dessert looked like a fudge-sized slice of chocolate cake with melting whipped cream attempting to make it look bigger.

Greek salad looks like what your mysterious aunt brings to Thanksgiving in a Tupperware bowl.

12. The vindictiveness of the soon to be most powerful person in the WORLD

is... absolutely TERRIFYING.

Who is next on his shit list? Which world leader? Which religion?

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. Nixon had his enemy list -- Trumpski has his enemy BOOKS.

He should be up to at least Volume VII by now, cross-referenced by perceived slight. More interesting than those boring old PDBs.

[KamaAina]

18. Here are their specials

[TubbersUK]

19. To me, this episode confirms

that he's actually incapable of separating himself from his businesses.

He just can't do it, he's pathologically greedy and consumed by hubris.

If he doesn't divest (divesting being inconceivable for him), it's almost inevitable that he's going to get caught with his fingers in the till.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

20. The restaurant is a perfect reflection of Donnie himself.

Classless, self-aggrandizing glitz in place of taste and quality.
