Obama Inaugural luncheon fit for a Kentuckian


The Inaugural Luncheon menu and recipes are online at the Inaugural web site.The luncheon menu is mouth-watering, and would remind any Adair Countian who has ever read the early menus offered at the old Hotel Miller after it was first build of feasts once offered on the Columbia Square. (If anyone has the information, which was printed in the first or second Daily Statesman following the fire, we appreciate a copy. Use any Contact/Submit button to send.)The menu will feature foods which fellow Illinoisan Abraham Lincoln loved. The second course includes items native Kentuckian Abraham Lincoln could have enjoyed in his Old Kentucky Homes. The Luncheon menu, according to the site, includes:
