American presidents have famously followed specific dietary habits and requested dishes spanning healthy, homemade meals, classic and decadent desserts, and junk food. For instance, Abraham Lincoln loved his wife's white almond cake, whereas Herbert Hoover preferred a family recipe of sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows.
Theodore Roosevelt had a carnivorous appetite, starting his day with hard-boiled eggs and ending it with steak or crispy fried chicken smothered in white gravy. He frequented places like The Oyster Bar in Boston and Delmonico's in New York City.
