President-Elect Donald Trump’s favourite food and where to find it

DONALD Trump eating habits are pedestrian. The billionaire President-Elect loves bacon, burgers and fast food. And if he ever comes Down Under there is plenty of grease for him on the northern beaches.

WHEN it comes to food, Donald­ Trump is man of the people, rather than a foodie.

Cheeseburgers, bacon, taco bowls and steak and chips are some of the billionaire’s favourite eats.

During the campaign, the President-Elect used social media to record his snacking aboard Trump Force One, and the world gobbled up his posts.

Back in May, the @therealdonaldtrump posted a photo on Instagram on-board his private plane tucking into Maccas, french fries and Diet Coke.

Last January, any New Year resolutions seemed to have evaporated. On visit to the Red Arrow Diner in New Hampshire, Trump supplemented his “I’ll eat what I like” ethos with another favourite — deep-fried mac and cheese balls.

This side order was on top of his regular cheeseburger and Coke fix.

Freshwater on Sydney’s northern beaches has more than a great surfing beach if President-Elect were to make a visit Down Under.

Trump could come and sample some classic American food, George McLean, co owner of J B & Sons, said.

Since opening last year, this burger and cocktail bar has been doing a roaring trade in the fast food Trump would love.

“We have a range American snacks and burgers,” he said.

“We even have a burger called The Don on the menu, but that is strictly a coincidence, it’s not named after Donald Trump.”

Mr McLean said that the tower of a burger came with a double beef patty, triple cheese, double bacon, two lots of pickle, iceberg lettuce tomato, an onion ring (deep fried of course), jalapeños, mustard, aioli and smoked barbecue sauce.

Across the way, Stowaway Bar has another vote-winning presidential snack.

The upstairs venue has Mac N Cheese bites. These triangles are crumbed, baked and served with homemade tomato relish.

Spokesman Bryony Proctor said that they were great with a beer. This snack will be available until the end of the month.
