PRESIDENTIAL FAVORITE FOODS

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945) Grilled Cheese Sandwich

One of FDR’s preferred foods was a gooey grilled cheese sandwich, according to Henrietta Nesbitt, the White House housekeeper during his administration. Other all-American favorites included scrambled eggs, fish chowder, hot dogs, and fruitcake. Nesbitt said that the president liked foods that “he could dig into.”
