When you’re on a family road-trip, everyone knows you have to stop off for a big feed. It’s usually a case of the fattier the better.
But it’s rare you expect to run into anyone famous, least of all the U.S. president.
Natalie Carrado and her family were visiting Kansas City on a summer holiday, when they decided to stop into Arthur Bryant’s Barbecue. The family were tucking into their bite to eat when they were alerted a VIP diner would be joining them.
Speaking to 7News Denver, the mum explained:
‘”We were eating at Arthur Bryant’s Barbecue in Kansas City, MO. Visiting from Denver Colorado, (Go Broncos! 🙂 ) Enjoying Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun amusement parks. We were eating at this world famous BBQ, getting ready to watch my husband at the Ringside boxing tournament this week. We had a fun surprise during dinner! In walks Secret Service with an announcement that a “VIP person” would be coming in for dinner. In walks president Obama!
“It was pretty nice that he was able to speak with every table in the restaurant and we were able to chat with him and hear some fun stories about him and his daughter riding a roller coaster five years ago.
“We didn’t want to bother him for a better picture so we figured this selfie would do. Fun times!”
Tweeting the snap, which captures the president between her and her two boys, Natalie uploaded the picture to her Twitter account:
