Barack Obama and Joe Biden Take Their Bromance To The Next Level With Matching Sandwiches

-

The meme-inspiring, heart-warming, D.C. bromance between former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden is back — and hungrier than ever.

The longtime friends and political allies stepped out together in Washington, D.C. on Monday to grab a bite to eat at Dog Tag Bakery in Georgetown.

Obama, who once asked Biden questions about domestic policy and political strategy, now goes to his right-hand man for lunch recommendations.

“Hold on a sec, what did you get here?” the former president interrupts Biden as he asks for mustard.

“I’ve got one of these, what are they called, ham and cheese,” Biden says, holding up his lunch plate at eye-level.

“I think I’m gotta have one of those too,” Obama responds.

“He wants one of those too,” Biden says to an employee, holding cash in his hand.

The Dog Tag Bakery is more than just a popular D.C. food stop – it also supports service-disabled veterans, military spouses and caregivers as they reenter civilian life, according to its website. The bakery runs a five-month program that allows fellows to earn a Certificate in Business Administration from Georgetown University’s School of Continuing studies, participate in professional workshops and wellness programs, and acquire work experience at the bakery.

“Look who stopped by @DogTagBakery for lunch today! Thank you @BarackObama and @JoeBiden for supporting our mission of empowering veterans with service-connected disabilities, military spouses, and military caregivers! #BakingADifference #veterans #milspouses #caregivers,” Dog Tag Bakery tweeted on Monday.

The former president then eyed the fennel salad, eventually adding it to his order.

Obama and Biden’s choice for their lunch date may have arisen from more than their desire to support veterans or indulge in ham and cheese sandwiches. The bakery also serves ice cream, a supreme joy in life for the former VP.

Last year Cornell University officially recognized the former VP’s great passion for the sweet treat by creating a Biden-themed ice cream from Cornell Dairy ahead of him speaking at Cornell University’s convocation ceremony.

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-
Image
When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
