CHICAGO _ Alinea co-owner Nick Kokonas has invited the Clemson Tigers to dinner in Chicago.
The invitation follows President Donald Trump serving the college football team on Monday a White House dinner of fast food burgers in paper packaging, pizza in boxes, salad in plastic clamshells, fries dispensed to tiny presidential paper cups with sauce packets splayed out on silver serving trays under lit candelabras.
Kokonas wrote on Twitter Tuesday night, "I could care less about college football. But I'm personally inviting the Clemson Tigers team and coaches to Chicago to experience what an actual celebration dinner should be. I'm not joking. Someone let them know what The Alinea Group does. It'll be worth it."
No word yet on where that meal would take place, but the restaurant group includes Alinea, Next, Roister and The Aviary.
