How much do you tip this pizza guy?

Or, Things you won't read in American Media

Funny how stories like this one never seem to make it to our own press.

The UK Sun is the second foreign paper where I've seen this story:

Obama's 850 mile Pizza Run

BARACK Obama liked a restaurant’s pizzas so much he has flown the chef 850 miles to make some at the White House.

The US President got a taste for Chris Sommers’ pizza while campaigning in St Louis, Missouri, last year.

After Mr Obama’s election win, Chris offered to deliver frozen pizzas to the White House but was told he couldn’t because of security concerns.

So he took 20lb of dough and three gallons of sauce to Washington.

Chris was due to cook lunch at the White House yesterday, reported People.com. He said: “It’s surreal. It’s a huge honour.”


The audacity of dopes. For the record, People.com does not qualify as American media. American gossip rag, yes. Media, not so much.
