Taylor Gourmet
He may have been Commander-in-Chief of the world's most formidable army, but deep down Obama is really just a guy who appreciates a quality sandwich (presidents—they're just like us). So it's no surprise that he regularly popped up at different locations of Taylor Gourmet, which builds Philly-style sandwiches for the hungry D.C. masses. Even a government shutdown didn't stop Barry and his faithful sidekick Joe from getting their hoagie on.

Ray's Hell Burger
Okay, it was a simpler (and let’s just say, less complicated) time when the president of the United States took the president of Russia out to grab a couple burgers in Arlington at Ray’s Hell Burger in 2010. And clearly Ray’s is the perfect place to talk global politics over some medium-well patties, since Obama also dined in with Joe Biden for another working lunch—waiting in line and paying cash just like anyone else on their hour-long grub break.

Blue Duck Tavern
The Obamas fêted their wedding anniversary at the Blue Duck Tavern, a contemporary American eatery tucked inside D.C.’s Park Hyatt hotel. Word on the culinary street is that they sampled the crab cakes (clearly not even the world’s most powerful power couple can resist the siren song of crab’s greatest calling) and seafood pasta from the menu crafted around locally-sourced ingredients.

Rose's Luxury
Air Force One: nice perk. Cutting the line at Rose’s Luxury: priceless. President Obama had his birthday celebration at the restaurant whose Southern-comfort-food-with-international-flair cuisine earned it the title of Best New Restaurant in 2014 from Bon Appetit. And that line is no joke…

Good Stuff Eatery
Top Chefcompetitor Spike Mendelsohn’s Good Stuff Eatery is one of his go-tos. The menu even boasts a Prez Obama Burger (with bacon, onion marmalade, Roquefort cheese, and horseradish mayo) as a meaty welcome mat.

BLT Steak
A good steak tastes even more delectable when eaten in good company—particularly when said company is Oscar-winning. A repeat visitor to power-player steakhouse BLT Steak, the ex-prez last elbowed up to the table there with Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman. Whether there were any "Shaw-Pork-Shank Redemption" puns made is still classified, sadly.
