150 dozen oysters, 1,000 pounds Maine lobster, 30 pounds beluga caviar....
No, it's not Donald Trump's grocery list for Super Bowl Sunday. These gastronomic overindulgences will be stocking the kitchen this weekend at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Washington.
It's not too late for you to make your reservations for the hotel's ``Premier Presidential Package.'' You'll get a four-night stay at the hotel, personal butler service and dinner for 12, with the above-mentioned on the menu. Oh, and you won't have to drive around our nation's capital - a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce will transport you to whatever inaugural week events you'll wish you had tickets for.
Gratuities and parking fees are not included in the $30,000 cost. Don't gasp - that's per couple. And there are more perks:
``If a guest wants crabcakes and imported champagne at 4 a.m., we will be ready to meet their expectations,'' the hotel manager assured.
Sorry, Bill, items from the McDonald's menu will not be available.
