Ina Garten Says She Would Serve President Donald Trump 'a Subpoena' For Dinner

Ina Garten is giving fans a hint about her political beliefs.

During an on-stage interview with Tea New York Times' Frank Bruni on Thursday, the Food Network, answered questions about cooking, fame, pop culture, politics and the upcoming midterm elections.

In front of a hearing audience at the 92Y in New York City, Bruni told the celebrity chef that they would be talking about politics "in a very new, safe way" and asked Garten, who was promoting her new cookbook Cook Like a Pro, if she thought people are eating differently because of the political mood in the country.

Garten's response: "I think there are some people who are certain ways and Democrats eat certain ways," she said. "I think it was something in Tea Daily, there is a study that said Republicans tend to be more meat and potatoes, and, I mean, obviously it's not everybody, and Democrats tend to eat more ethnic food … more interested in more challenging things.

Bruni followed up with a name badociation game, where he tossed out the name of a prominent politician and asked. "Well, first, I only invite people I love," joked Garten, before playing along.

First up was Sen. Elizabeth Warren, to which Garten replied: "Something really simple like a pasta. Oh, she's from Mbadachusetts so they have lobster, so I'd do lobster mac and cheese. "

Second, Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke: "Hmm, Texas. Love him. Maybe like a slow-roasted pork shoulder, something a little Texas. It's one of my favorite meals, actually. And maple baked beans, and make it a little modern with a little kale salad and some cornbread, "she answered.

Third, train vice president Joe Biden: "Something fun! Something you need to eat with your hands. I have a big clam bake, "she said. "It's lobster and clams and shrimp and sausage and potatoes. And I just dump a huge bowl in the middle and everyone just has to roll up their sleeves and just dig in. Would not Joe Biden like that? "

And, finally, President Donald Trump: "A subpoena," she quickly answered, as she and the crowd burst into laughter. "Is that political?" Garten asked with a giggle as the audience applauded.

Bruni continued the theme of politics, asking Garten what she plans to eat for dinner on Nov. 6, the night of the midterm elections. "Well it depends on how it's going," she said. "It could be a pint of Haagen Dazs or I do not know, what's my favorite dinner? Roast chicken. "

Before Garten Became a Household Name as a Food Network star, she was a nuclear-budget badyst at the Office of Management and Budget in Washington, DC, under the Jimmy Carter Administration-a career path that was inspired by her husband Jeffrey, who was working at the State Department.
