The inaugural menu
Chili might be one of Barack Obama's favorite foods, but that's not what he'll eat during his first meal as president.
After Tuesday's swearing-in ceremony, Obama will dig into game and seafood at Saturday's Inaugural Luncheon in Washington, D.C. The inauguration marks the bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The three-course menu below reflects some of Lincoln's favorite foods:
