In Trump's favorite restaurant the 21 Club,
an 88-year-old destination for New York’s power brokers
just five blocks away from Trump Tower.
The president’s standard order is a "21" Burger ($36), which he likes cooked well-done and topped with American cheese.
On the side he’ll have a straightforward virgin Bloody Mary, an iced tea, or a Diet Coke. Said to be first luxury burger in the country when it was first served in the 1940s, the "21" Burger is made with a mix of three prime cuts, including short rib. The burger comes with pickles, tomato, grilled onions, and the special "21" sauce and is offered with a choice of cheeses, including cheddar and blue cheese.
Even for presidential aspirants who can’t bear to order a well-done burger and opt for medium instead, the experience is underwhelming, the hefty patty is tough with a heavy sear. It's seasoned well, though, on a custom brioche bun
Trump’s father, Fred, was a regular at the restaurant with his business partner; they would sit in the far reaches of the restaurant (regulars call the wall furthest from the entrance “Siberia”) and hold meetings. Today, there is a plaque commemorating the elder Trump at his favorite table.
It’s unclear when Donald first began to attend the 21 Club himself—except for during the December holidays, children under the drinking age are rarely seen inside the restaurant—but Shaker Naini, a host who’s worked at the 21 Club for more than 40 years, says that his first memory of Trump was in 1977, when he came as the guest of Roy Cohn.
