First lady Melania Trump and second lady Karen Pence picked up lunch at Whataburger, a regional fast food chain, during their trip to visit areas affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas on Wednesday and also treated their traveling press pool to a meal.
A senior aide to the first lady tweeted a picture of the pair at the counter of the Corpus Christie restaurant with the caption: “On our way out of town, @FLOTUS & @SecondLady decided to stop in to @Whataburger for some lunch! The American chain opened its 1st restaurant in Corpus Christi, TX in 1950!”

Later, a reporter for USA Today tweeted a video of members of the press receiving bags of the fast food, which was paid for by the first lady and second lady.

While it is unclear what the ladies ordered, the regional burger chain, which is a Texas favorite, tweeted: “Hope it was a great meal! Thanks for stopping by.”
