The Pope and the Hamburger
Speaking of the Pope ...
You really don't give much thought to what someone like John Paul II eats. People often look at world figures as larger than life, and of course they are, but they, too, get hungry and need to consume food. True to form, the late Pope proved less than high-maintenance.
From the Lexington Herald-Leader:
Lexington businessman Jerry Lundergan's most personal memory of John Paul II goes back to 1987, when Lundergan's catering company received the contract to serve lunch for the pope during his visit to San Antonio.What dish did John Paul II request?
"We thought we were going to do this great big, fancy meal for him," Lundergan said. "But he just wanted a good, American hamburger. Which I think just shows how easy he was, and how simply he looked at things."
