Want to eat like a president? Well, here is your chance.
A New York hotel that has hosted every U.S. president since Herbert Hoover is launching a new tasting menu based on the meals served to commanders in chief.
Consider it your own little taste of history.
Take the roasted rack of lamb. The dish was served to President George H.W. Bush when he entertained British Prime Minister John Major in 1992. And the dessert -- the chocolate extravaganza -- was given to Bush's son, President George W. Bush.
Not a fan of the Bush family? No worries. The four-course meal also includes dishes served to Presidents Reagan and Clinton.

But the meal isn't just about the food, it's also about the setting: the historic Waldorf Astoria hotel and its sister property the Waldorf Towers. The meal will only be available to guests of the Towers or those dining at the hotel's Bull & Bear steakhouse. The meal is served to guests on the same china used for visiting presidents and is delivered to their suite in white-glove fashion by personal butlers.

So how much for this four-course presidential menu paired with wine? Guests at the Towers will be charged $330 a person plus $150 for a butler shared for up to 10 guests. At least tax and tip are included in that price.
For those eating in the Bull & Bear, the meal costs $500 a person and includes private butler service, U.S. flags adorning the room, and presidential amenities for diners to take home with them. Reservations for this meal worthy of a presidential palate need to be made a week in advance.
ABC News was treated to a free sampling of the dishes in the Waldorf's presidential suite as Super Tuesday election results rolled in from across the country. While most of the talk around the dining room table in the 35th-floor presidential suite was about politics, the guests all seemed impressed by the wide range of presidential tastes. For instance, the fish prepared for Reagan was purposely simple to fit the president's dietary needs.
