Trump’s cheeseburger in Japan still drawing lines
TOKYO – The cheeseburger President Donald Trump ate during his visit to Japan is still drawing lines at a Tokyo burger joint.
Yutaka Yanagisawa, the owner-cum-chef of Munch’s Burger Shack, recalls Trump praised the meal and shook his hand after he served the burger to him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a country club last week.
The “President Trump Set” with coleslaw and fries is a new addition to the menu at Munch’s Burger. It’s not cheap at 1,400 yen ($12) but is still one of the most popular orders.
The “Trump effect” is proving a boon for the burger joint — especially since the experience of eating out in Tokyo is becoming more about fun storytelling, such as sharing Instagram photos of meals.
