The White House Kitchen Has A Slight Steak Problem

I know, I know. How could steaks EVER be a problem?

Apparently, there was supposed to be a White House congressional picnic. White House cooks have been grilling up a storm all day. The sweet aroma of steaks is permeating the WH grounds.

The problem? President Trump postponed the big picnic at the last minute, because he feels like everyone needs to focus and at least ATTEMPT to resolve the illegal immigrant families problem first.

“We are going to cancel and postpone tomorrow’s Congressional picnic… I was just walking over to the oval office and I said, 'it doesn't feel right to have a picnic for Congress when we're working on doing something very important,'” @POTUS says while addressing immigration pic.twitter.com/ieAtqMZ2fA

I understand why he canceled it, but I also feel really bad for the White House cooks, because they literally JUST got the memo.

The president’s full of surprises. He made an announcement about family separations – and postponed the congressional picnic. When I told a cook the news, he looked in dismay at dozens of rib-eye steaks he’d spent the morning grilling and said: “What’ll they do with all this?” pic.twitter.com/Nzz0d0jZtk

ALSO — Trump says he's canceling the congressional picnic, set for tomorrow, for which WH cooks have been preparing steaks all day…

"It just didn't feel right to me," he said, per @abbydphillip

White House chefs were grilling a bunch of steaks outside today; if the Congressional picnic is cancelled, who's going to eat all that steak? Wait, don't answer that. Better load up on the ketchup

President Trump says he's postponing tomorrow's congressional picnic – he said it just didn't feel right with everything going on.

Hold those steaks that have been prepared at the White House.

They are grilling up some massive steaks here at the White House today – I could smell these all the way out on Pennsylvania Avenue. pic.twitter.com/mAbPageWp0

Jokes aside, what will come of the steaks?!

President Trump has cancelled the Congressional Picnic they were grilling these steaks for. Not clear what will happen to the steaks now, but there are plenty of charities in Washington that might take them: https://t.co/z6SffpjCZ7
