Opinion: Forget the East Wing, let's take state dinners to the fair
"But if you use last summer's bill of fare as a guide, guests could walk from stand to stand, instead of being stuck in their seats for speeches. They could feast on a Chicken Pickle Ranch Rocket on a Stick, Flamin' Hot Cheetos Fries, a Full Mozzarella Korean Corn Dog, Maple Bacon-Flavored Cheese Curds, or Fairgrounds Fiesta Wontons, filled with egg salad and the size of catcher's mitts, deep-fried and then drizzled with hot honey and pico de gallo. Now that's America!"
"For dessert: the Scotcheroo Shake peanut butter and butterscotch ice cream swirled with Scotcheroo fudge, which is a mix of peanut butter, butterscotch, Rice Krispies and chocolate chips, crowned with whipped cream with caramel and chocolate drizzles. You can imagine diplomats and politicians staggering into their limos after a fairgrounds state dinner, saying between belches, "We must end these tariffs and open a Scotcheroo Shake Trade Route!""
The East Wing of the White House has been demolished to make way for a huge ballroom that will host state dinners for up to a thousand people. In the interim, state dinners could be held at the Iowa State Fairgrounds as a temporary venue. Guests would fly to Iowa and walk from stand to stand instead of remaining seated for speeches. The fair menu includes Chicken Pickle Ranch Rocket on a Stick, Flamin' Hot Cheetos Fries, Full Mozzarella Korean Corn Dogs, Maple Bacon-Flavored Cheese Curds, and oversized Fairgrounds Fiesta Wontons. Desserts could feature the Scotcheroo Shake, a peanut-butter and butterscotch ice cream concoction crowned with whipped cream.
