'Top Chef' judge tries to drum up outrage over White House ballroom — and gets thoroughly embarrassed
A star chef from the show “Top Chef” tried to raise outrage over the demolition for President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom renovation, but he was mocked and ridiculed instead. Tom Colicchio posted a photograph he said was from the East Room of the White House, which is being renovated to make way for a large ballroom. “My wife and I in the East Wing. I can’t believe it is gone,” he posted on his official social media account. However, as many quickly noted, the photograph was not from the East Room at all, but actually from the Diplomatic Reception.
