Inaugural Luncheon The Inaugural Luncheon is Congress’s official welcome to the newly sworn- in President and Vice President following the Inaugural Address. This seated, three-course meal brings together 240 guests, including lawmakers, Cabinet nominees, Supreme Court justices, and other distinguished attendees for a momentous gathering in honor of the new administration. To showcase ingredients from the home states of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the ribeye was sourced from a Black Angus cattle ranch in Omaha, NE, complemented by handpicked Chesapeake blue crab meat and crisp apples from Minnesota.
