Of all the places you could think you might spot Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, the Burger King in College Park on Baltimore Avenue probably isn’t one of them.
It was a typical Friday night on Oct. 4, for Matt Giorgianni, an assistant research professor in the biology department at the University of Maryland, who had just picked up his nine-year old son from ice hockey practice at the nearby Wells Ice Rink. Because it was around 8 p.m. his son was hungry and wanted to grab a bite to eat at the nearby Burger King. So they made a quick stop for dinner.
The restaurant wasn’t very busy, with just one other customer who didn’t seem to take notice of the fact that Jared, Ivanka and their three kids were ordering food at the counter.
Matt spotted their youngest, Theodore, wearing a stormtrooper shirt and a Burger King paper crown. Jared was dressed casually in a sweatshirt while Ivanka was dressed nicely and wearing makeup, likely from taping an interview on Fox News earlier that day.
At first, Matt wasn’t sure if it was actually Jared and Ivanka, thinking maybe they were just University of Maryland students dressed in Halloween costumes to look like Jared and Ivanka. It wasn’t until Matt saw their order on the screen amount to over $100 worth of Whoppers and fries that he was convinced.
After Jared ordered, the family sat down and waited for their food, while four or five Secret Service agents stood around with three black SUVs parked in the back.
Once Jared’s order was ready, a Burger King staff brought it to the table and apologized for it taking so long. Matt said that Jared graciously told them it wasn’t a problem and commented how they were doing a great job.
After Matt ordered, he and his son took it to go. Matt walked passed Jared and his family and said “How’s it going tonight?” and Jared responded “It’s going really well.”
