    Feud Breaks Out Over President Obama's Cheeseburger Field Trip

    Posted:

    As Patricia Murphy noted earlier, President Obama dropped in on the Five Guys Restaurant today for some rapid nourishment (video here). He was accompanied by an NBC News film crew.

    The subject of the President's trip came up at today's White House Press Briefing, where CBS' Mark Knoller cast a suspicious eye at the "day in the life" burger run, prompting a quick rejoinder from NBC's Chuck Todd:

    All kidding aside, I feel the need to speak out here. The President and Brian Williams ruined those burgers. There's only one right way to make a hamburger.

    On the other hand, I have to give the President gastronomic props if those were, indeed, yummy pistachios he was snacking on.

    I also predict that critics of the President will soon be posting Youtube videos of his polite refusal to sign autographs, with some fun conspiracy about how the President has been replaced by a double, whose signature would not have matched.

    Equally certain is the future emergence of some kind of tipping story. You heard it here first.

    Update: Confirmed - The President's favorite nut is the pistachio.
