An employee at Ghostburger in Washington, DC got the surprise of a lifetime when the commander-in-chief called in an order for his and Vice President Kamala Harris' weekly lunch at the Executive Mansion.
Brittany Spaddy was left in awe in a video posted by the restaurant's owners Josh and Kelly Philips, who orchestrated the call with the president to celebrate small businesses in America and Spaddy's loyal service through a rough stretch dating back to the outbreak of the pandemic.
According to reports, the Philips specially orchestrated the call with a plan that involved Spaddy, one of the restaurant's first employees, coming into work early to ensure that she was the one to pick up the phone.
“That’s crazy,” a starstruck Spaddy muttered after hanging up the call with one of the most powerful men in the world. “Oh, I’m shaking.”
Biden opted for a bacon cheeseburger with American cheese, while Harris went for a single Ghostburger with bacon, no cheese, and no “spooky sauce.” Both also enjoyed crinkle-cut fries.
“Ordered a bacon cheeseburger from a local restaurant yesterday to celebrate over 10 million new small business applications during my presidency,” Biden tweeted. “I may have caught Brittany off guard.”
In the closing of the now-viral video, a bemused Biden can be seen recalling the exchange with Spaddy as he and the vice president cracked open their fries.
