"One of the menu items served aboard Air Force One during President Donald Trump's administration is a bacon-cheddar brunch burger, but more often he'll turn to McDonald's, a restaurant he loves with an unbridled passion. But he does have other go-to burger spots for those times when he wants something a bit more upscale. At the now-closed 21 Club, his standing order was a well-done, $36 "21" Burger."
"Despite the name (not to mention the cowboy-on-bucking-bronco logo) Jackson Hole Burgers is not located in Wyoming. Instead, it occupies three locations in New York City (two in Manhattan; one in Queens) as well a fourth outpost in New Jersey. Although the The New York Times quotes an unnamed family member as referring to the chain as one of Trump's "favorite fast food restaurants," it appears to be more of a dine-in establishment, complete with a cocktail list."
"As further evidence against Jackson Hole Burgers being considered fast food - at least by non-billionaire standards - is the fact that the chain offers an appetizer menu featuring smoked truffle barbecue wings priced at roughly $20. (Even guac and chips will set you back $19.) The restaurant also goes beyond standard fast-food beverages like shakes and sodas. While both are offered, they tend to be on the fancy side, with items like an affogato milkshake made with espresso as well as the original dirty soda:"
President Donald Trump frequently chooses McDonald's but also orders higher-end burgers, including a bacon-cheddar brunch burger aboard Air Force One and a $36 "21" Burger at the now-closed 21 Club. Jackson Hole Burgers is a regional mini-chain with three New York City locations and one in New Jersey and functions more like a dine-in restaurant with a cocktail list. The menu includes upscale appetizers such as smoked truffle barbecue wings priced around $20 and guacamole and chips for $19. Beverage options extend beyond typical fast food to include affogato milkshakes, classic New York egg creams, cocktails, wines, and draft beers.
