Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Dine Everywhere From McDonald's to Dubai

As partners in their father’s business, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. do a lot of dining together — whether they’re talking to clients Stateside about Quattro, their upcoming restaurant in the Trump Soho building or cutting ribbons in the Middle East as they did this week. Don — or Donnie, as his younger brother calls him — prefers to eat downtown at places like BondSt and Woo Lae Oak, but that doesn’t mean he’s above stopping into McDonald’s for a sausage, egg, and cheese. “We’ve been brought up to have both kinds of taste: My father’s an all-American eater — burgers, fries, pizza — and my mother is more of a sophisticated, European eater.” Aside from a dinner at Raoul’s, Trump Jr. didn’t see much of New York this week owing to a trip to Greece, so we asked Eric to tell us what he ate.

BLT Out at Trump Soho

Well, we guess there won't be a BLT restaurant in Trump Soho after all. Such is the gist of a press release that just went out from BLT's representative, Bullfrog & Baum, which includes this telling quote: “BLT Restaurants are recognized for a particular style of food and service which ended up not being what the Trump Organization was interested in,” says Jimmy Haber, managing partner of BLT Restaurant Group. Did Trump want something cheaper or more casual than what BLT was ready to do? Or does this perhaps have to do with the rumor we've been hearing about a hip, young downtown chef being looked at for the space? Perhaps there was more to the rumor than we thought.

The ever-expanding BLT empire is going to have a new addition and one that is a departure from previous generations. The Trump Soho, on which construction has recently resumed, is to have a big, new BLT restaurant, but chef-owner Laurent Tourondel says it won’t be a BLT Steak, Burger, Prime, Fish, or Market. “It’s going to be a new concept, something I’ve never done before,” he says. Tourondel also shot down a rumor we’d heard that a hot, young downtown chef was being recruited to do another big restaurant in the building. “I’m in charge of all the food and beverage there, so I would know,” he asserts. Unless he just isn’t telling.
