I don't want to be that person, but... what did Obama serve (if anything) at an event like this?

I couldn’t find what was on the menu for a NCAA dinner during Obama’s administration but this was the menu for his last state dinner with the Italian Prime Minister: 

Prior to the meal, guests are offered an assortment of passed canapés made with fresh ingredients from Mrs. Obama’s final harvest of the White House Kitchen Garden. These appetizers include Hamachi Agrodolce with recently harvest eggplant, roasted figs with speck and herb pesto made from the garden’s cinnamon basil, crab cannolis with homegrown currant tomatoes, and grilled rosemary lamb with freshly picked rosemary.

The first course is a velvety pillow of paper-thin pasta stuffed with a puree of sweet potatoes, garnished with a hint of nutmeg and Italian parsley, and topped with browned butter and sage leaves. The dish is finished with grated Vella Select Dry Monterey Jack cheese from Sonoma County, California, which adds a tangy and salty layer that complements the sweetness of the dish.

The next course is a composed salad of roasted butternut squash topped with bitter chicory, preserved pumpkin, and shaved ewe’s milk cheese from New York. It is drizzled with a raw apple cider vinaigrette made with DaVero extra virgin olive oil from California. This dish captures the taste, color, and texture of the season.

The main course is a Beef Braciole Pinwheel, an Italian Classic with a twist. The prime tenderloin is cut and lightly pounded, then layered with Bresaola, Fontina Cheese, parsley, garlic, and Panko breadcrumbs. It is sliced and served atop broccoli rabe, and garnished with a horseradish gremolata, apple matchsticks, and arugula.

The plated dessert is a green apple crostata. A flaky and delicate pasta frolla crust is filled with a tender semolina batter and a lightly poached green apple. It is finished with a thyme caramel sauce, with thyme from the White House Kitchen Garden, and crunchy toffee crumble, and topped with a creamy quenelle of buttermilk gelato.

Our festive seasonal theme continues with “Celebrating Autumn’s Harvest,” a handmade dessert creation served to each table. This treat highlights the fruits and vegetables of the season for both the United States and Italy. Made of chocolate and sugar, guests will enjoy a platter featuring a pumpkin, cornucopia, milk chocolate chestnuts, grapes, corn, pears, squash, tomatoes, peas, carrots, green peppers, and a beehive replica. The miniature pastry selections include a sweet corn crema and blackberry cup, a Concord grape chocolate leaf, orange and fig slices, a pumpkin cranberry tart, and tiramisu.”

Uh Red Wine... Convict... Gah Gah...

I swear, Republicans have such short-term memories. I've already seen several comments on social media along the lines of "Y'ALL WILL JUST BITCH ABOUT EVERYTHING HE DOES!" I'm like, gurl, y'all were clutching your pearls and grabbing your smelling salts because President Obama wore a tan suit and ate arugula and spicy mustard.  :laughga:
