As the daughter of a former U.S. president, suddenly everyone wants intel
on Tiffany Trump - and that includes what she typically likes to eat.
But while she might be a recent college co-ed, she definitely indulges her luxury tastes.
Full disclosure: you may just come away with a few new cravings.
"We'll go to a restaurant, the waiter will come up, twenty minutes later,
they're just still talking." Tiffany and her mom, Marla Maples, share
a tight-knit bond. So it's not strange to spot the pair out and about, sharing a meal. In 2018, they
hit up New York City for Mexican food. An insider at Taco Dumbo told the New York Daily News,
"Tiffany Trump and Marla Maples showed up this weekend for lunch at the Midtown location
of Taco Dumbo [and ordered] the Impossible Taco."
According to the restaurant, the vegan dish consists of Ancho Americano plant-based "beef,"
black bean mash, vegan lime crema, and an organic blue tortilla fashioned into a hard shell taco.
Pizza just might do a brain some good - if you consider the sheer volume
of it that's consumed by undergrad students. In 2015, while she was
attending the University of Pennsylvania, Tiffany posted a revealing selfie, writing:
"Pizza - the only thing that gets me through 8 hour study sessions."
In May of 2017, news broke that Tiffany would be following family tradition by attending law
school at Georgetown University - the same grad school attended by Donald Trump's second son,
Eric, and eldest daughter, Ivanka. In an email to The New York Times, Eric wrote,
"Georgetown is an incredible school. […] I am so proud of Tiffany and
all that she has accomplished. She is an amazing young woman,
a terrific sister and has a remarkable future ahead of her."
Tiffany graduated virtually from the program in 2020, according to CNN.
It didn't take long for Tiffany to find her way to some of D.C.'s culinary hotspots
once she entered Georgetown Law in 2017. The first-year student was spotted at the high-end
Indian restaurant Rasika for a late dinner with a girlfriend, according to The Washington Post.
Reportedly, the two lingered for around an hour and a half before ducking out.
And it looks like Tiffany isn't the restaurant's only fan. Based on over 3,000 reviews on Yelp,
Rasika maintains an impressive 4 ½ stars, thanks to just about everything from the Palak Chaat
appetizer to the cardamom ice cream. Tiffany certainly isn't opposed to the
occasional indulgence. In fact, a quick scan of her Instagram feed reveals loads of sweet treats
like strawberry ice cream bars, dessert tray samplers, soft-serve ice cream, and crème brûlée.
If a sweet tooth could be hereditary, it would be safe to say Tiffany's was passed
down to her by her dad - who is notoriously fond of dessert. In 2017, Trump revealed
that he bonded with the Chinese President over a confectionery delight while dining at Mar-a-Lago.
"We had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen."
Take a look at Tiffany's social media, and you'll find no shortage of foodie photos
of fish, eggs, caviar and salmon roe. So it appears, perhaps,
that despite the fact she sometimes indulges her sweet tooth, Tiffany has a solid grasp
on eating well. One nutritionist explained the benefits of chicken eggs to the BBC's Good Food,
"Both the white and yolk of an egg are rich in nutrients - proteins, vitamins, and minerals -
with the yolk also containing cholesterol, […] vitamins, and essential fatty acids."
As for salmon, a fish that Tiffany seems to go for often, it's rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are
known to benefit brain function and memory. If oysters are an acquired taste,
Tiffany definitely has it. In 2014, she posted a platter of oysters from the since-shuttered
Spring & Varick in New York's SoHo district, tagging the pic, "yum, oysters, woo-hoo."
But oysters may be more than just a high-end treat. They might be a lifestyle.
Jeremy Sewall, Boston-based chef, restaurateur and author of "Oysters:
A Celebration in the Raw" told HuffPost in 2018,
"Oysters are really amazing, because they kind of take you somewhere. Every farmed
oyster [on the East Coast] is the same species […] but they all taste and look
different depending on where you go." Whether it's truffle fries during New York
Fashion Week or the famed truffle pasta from NYC's Bar Pitti, Tiffany can't get
enough truffles. Of course, it's a good thing price isn't a factor for her, given the cost of
these rare wild mushrooms. Back in 2010, a pair of white truffles went for a whopping $330,000,
according to Today. And in 2012, CBS dubbed them "the most expensive food in the world."
If you're wondering why truffles will set you back so much, it has a lot to do with accessibility.
The Vice President and Truffle Guru at Urbani Truffles USA explained to Mental Floss that
truffles are naturally-occurring in the wild. And since farming white truffles has proven
unsuccessful, truffle hunters rely on dogs to sniff out the goods in Italy and France.
When she's on the West Coast, Tiffany can't resist stopping by Beverly Hills' Porta Via for
a dish she claims on Instagram is her, quote, "fav." It's a fresh salad of burrata cheese
and heirloom tomatoes topped with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper.
According to The Kitchn, Burrata is "a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream."
And considering burrata translates to "buttered," it's not surprising that fans of the cheese
choose it over plain mozzarella for its nuanced, buttery-smooth flavor.
