WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014<\/strong> A Daily Caller White House correspondent recently reviewed the food served aboard Air Force One<\/a> across a two-day trip, offering a rare public look at what the traveling press pool eats on presidential flights. The review covered routes to Las Vegas (LAS) and Phoenix (PHX), with meals ranging from beef ragu to lobster salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft serving as Air Force One is the modified Boeing 747-200B<\/a>, designated VC-25A, operated by the 89th Airlift Wing out of Joint Base Andrews. While the president’s meals are tailored to personal preferences, the press pool receives separately managed catering, billed directly to their employers at roughly $20 to $25<\/strong> per domestic meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Reporters Are Actually Eating on Presidential Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daily Caller correspondent Reagan Reese documented multiple meals across the trip. On the longer leg, the meal included beef ragu, a spring salad, and key lime pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She described the beef ragu as hearty and well-portioned, with enough sauce and meat to read as a proper entr\u00e9e. The salad featured crisp greens, fruit, and a light, tangy dressing. The key lime pie, however, fell short, lacking the tartness expected from the dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the shorter Las Vegas (LAS)<\/a> to Phoenix (PHX) leg, the press pool received an Italian sub on an asiago bagel, served with kettle chips and a chocolate chip cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I flew on Air Force One. I'm here to talk about the food.

I\u2019m not a foodie. I don\u2019t have a go-to restaurant critic or strong opinions about tasting menus.

But what I do have is a genuine, almost embarrassing enthusiasm for the meals served aboard AF1.
