#29: Grover Cleveland – Corned Beef and Cabbage

Grover Cleveland retired with a unique claim to fame: he remains the only U.S. president to serve two non-consecutive terms. Despite his place at the top of the political and culinary food chain, Cleveland was known for his preference for simple, hearty meals over fancy fare.

This New York native often chose to swap out elaborate dinners prepared by world-class chefs for the humble dishes served in the servants’ quarters. His favorite comfort food? Corned beef and cabbage, a timeless classic that spoke to his down-to-earth nature and appreciation for the basics, even while leading the nation.
