I think it is great that the Obamas are frequenting the local places. I imagine the local businesses like it too. Every time, the President visits a local place business improves.

Good on ya Spike- you were the most entertaining cheftestant that season and to think you didn't have to cheat on your girlfriend on national television to do it...

That's great! I was routing for Spike all along.

Lauren, why is everything a negative for Obama. You can't even talk about a burger without trashing him. He is your president for the next several years, so accept it and get over it. I wish I had a burger right now!

That is a pretty big deal, so congrats to Spike. I only wish this had happened to a less loathsome cheftestant. Spike was the worst - an arrogant, obnoxious, mediocre chef who was allowed to stay in the competition far too long.

Now if Obama had been spotted at Harold's Perilla, I would be ecstatic!

Spike made for some good television.

people do not "come together" for Obama. His lack of self reliance is disgusting. Make a burger that tastes like that and i will eat it.

That dude is competent enough to own a restaurant? I'm impressed.

That's amazing, I'm happy for you Spike!
