Presidents and candidates eating fast food
On her way to Iowa this week, Hillary Clinton was spotted in a Chipotle, but she's far from the only political figure who likes fast food. There's a thin line between White House and White Castle.
Here, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is captured on security cam footage, ordering incognito at a Chipotle in Ohio. Not to miss out on the guac, Clinton aide Huma Abedin is also present for the campaign stop.

Back before Russian presidents raised hell for President Obama, they went to Hell Burger with him.

Clinton said of his stop at the fast food establishment, "it was a regular thing of mine when I was a private citizen, so maybe I'll do it some more now. I just couldn't resist."
President Bush chows down on nachos

All roads lead to fast food
In November of 1992, President Bill Clinton was once again spotted at a fast food joint; this time talking with a customer after jogging there at dawn.
Clinton was scheduled to meet with Democratic leadership later that morning for breakfast, and leaders of both parties for lunch. Hopefully he still had room.
