Michelle Obama visits Pittsburgh-area diner |
|
[Note: I drive within a couple of blocks of this place every morning...right around the time Michelle showed up there. But, because traffic was so light due to the G20, I was early and missed all the fun. Not a "real" free-standing diner, but I can vouch for the pancakes! RJD]
Millvale, PA
A Pittsburgh-area restaurant famed for its crepe-thin flapjacks says it served a special guest this morning , Michelle Obama.
A co-owner of P&G's Pamela's Diner in Millvale says the First Lady arrived around 8:30 a.m. and ordered plain pancakes, bacon and a small orange juice. Obama is in town with her husband, President Barack Obama, for the Group of 20 summit.
Gail Klingensmith says Obama sat at a table with six or seven other women and security officials.
It wasn't Obama's first taste of Pamela's pancakes. She and the president ate them on an earlier visit. And the diner's owners cooked at the White House kitchen on Memorial Day.
Klingensmith says Obama told her "she hasn't stopped thinking about (the pancakes) since she had them the first time."
