In case you hadn’t heard, the President is here today for about four hours, treating California like an ATM for his campaign, as well he should. As Carla Marinucci reports for the Spin Cycle blog, President Obama is having a salmon lunch at the Julia Morgan Ballroom as of 2 p.m., and the food for the event is coming from Credo downstairs, and chef Gustavo Veytia. (Credo is the restaurant venture of Democratic party kingpin Clint Reilly, who owns the whole building.) Salmon is apparently the President’s favorite, and the plates at this event were going for $5,000 to $50,000 apiece. [Spin Cycle/SFGate]
