The Trump Hotel In Washington Can’t Find A Decent Chef To Run Their New Highly Anticipated Restaurant

Trump's certainly not one to sit around and wait for things, so he's apparently decided to make the best of a bad situation. And it looks like things are finally moving along:

This Is What Happened… 

The hotel managed to replace Andrés with David Burke and a BLT Prime (but only after making major concessions, like granting Burke a management deal instead of a lease). Zakarian’s spot, meanwhile, has remained empty — and empty it shall remain, according to Trump: When he was deposed by Zakarian’s attorneys back in June, he admitted other chefs had entertained the offer, but “We couldn’t get them to make a deal. We couldn’t get them to sign a lease.” He added there isn’t really time now “to have a restaurant,” so they’ve moved on to the second-best option: converting that space into a “very large” conference room.

Well, we can't say we're surprised that the two high-profile chefs decided to distance themselves from all things Trump. After all, the guy really knows how to alienate people! We are a little sad for the diners who are missing out on some pretty great restaurants, however.

    Considering it’s several months away from completion, I’d say they have time to find the right ones.

    Seriously? Like he is actually involved? Please just another click bait article. Stick to recipes, not incorrect gossip, or change name of page.

    If you read the story, it has nothing to do with being Dem, or Rep.
