#34: Theodore Roosevelt – Fried Chicken

Presidents—they’re more like us than you might think. Take Theodore Roosevelt, for example. Despite his extraordinary life and larger-than-life persona, he shared a love for a classic comfort food: fried chicken.

After a long day, Roosevelt often enjoyed sitting down to a plate of crispy fried chicken paired with creamy mashed potatoes and white gravy. For him, this wasn’t just a delicious meal—it was a taste of home, reminiscent of the same dish his mother used to make during childhood.
