P.I.T.A. bread with Faux butter completes the main course. Pleaseno Noir is the suggested whine choice. Finish with a White Tart and espresso with a shot of Nepotista.

Trump Organization Settles Lawsuit With Chef José Andrés
April 7, 2017
The Trump Organization has settled a legal battle with the chef José Andrés that had stretched on for two years. The lawsuit concerned a restaurant deal that Andrés pulled out of after Trump made comments disparaging Mexicans.
Andrés' restaurant was to be in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., which operates inside the historic Old Post Office. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and both parties declined comment beyond a joint statement from the Trump Organization and Andrés' restaurant group, Think Food Group.
"I am glad that we are able to put this matter behind us and move forward as friends," Donald Trump Jr. said in the statement. "Since opening in September 2016, Trump International Hotel, Washington, D.C. has been an incredible success and our entire team has great respect for the accomplishments of both José and TFG. Without question, this is a 'win-win' for both of our companies."

(36,212 posts)TRUMPS HOTELS ARE LOSING MONEY AS ROOM RATES PLUMMET
BY GREG PRICE ON 11/20/17
Room rates across President Donald Trumps global hotel empire have nosedived by as much as 63 percent since he moved into the White House while the billionaire continues to deal with allegations of conflicts of interest since taking office.
Twelve of Trumps 13 titular hotels experienced a decline in room rates when comparing prices from January 2017 to January 2018, according to the Telegraph, which cited travel currency service FairFX.
Prior to his inauguration, a two-night stay at Trump Las Vegas cost $844, but now goes for $314, the biggest fall for one of the presidents properties.
Trump Turnberry, a United Kingdom property that includes a signature golf course, experienced the next-highest drop of 57 percent, followed by Trump Doral in Florida at 53 percent and Trump's controversial Washington D.C. hotel at 52 percent.
Trump Doonbeg in Ireland was the only hotel with an increase, at seven percent. All others slipped between 10 percent and 63 percent.

Will be a unique experience for her, even without anyone assaulting her.
I don't know though, I've heard federal minimum security is not terrible. Maybe she could get a private cell. But in the event of her actually being convicted of anything, my vote would be for that privilege to be denied. It might help her mature as a person.

I also really, seriously appreciate the fact that this is a well-sourced story, as opposed to three anonymous sources tell us that...
It leads to the question of WHY? Why is Ivanka disturbed by the presence of Jose? When did this discomfort actually start? Oh, pick me pick me!: it started when daddy said Mexicans are rapists and Jose said fuck you, Im outta here, thats when!
Good luck defending her, trumpers - good fuckin LUCK

(4,066 posts)Everything I've seen so far, is just the chef making assumptions. While it seems very plausible this could have happened I have not seen anything that is enough to warrant all the hype this is getting.
All we have so far is the chef's tweet. This is some dangerous pizzagate style territory we're treading in here.

My fear is us setting ourselves up for a fall. One the right would love to take advantage of.

(562 posts)He now tweets it was a misunderstanding about different hosts with individual private party lists for the after-party at Cafe Milano and he wasn't invited to any.
But there's an assumption he has that everyone invited to the main hotel party gets to attend the after-party, and was the only one not let in.
Is this like the prom and after-prom? Or two separate events?
Anyway, I left my review some hours back on Yelp which is recommended and kind of an attention grabber, so I'm not sure whether to delete?
