“She is a real trouper and a good sport…. She didn’t want to disappoint anybody,” said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Mike Deaver, who was escorting the queen around California. wrote that “the low-budget lunch” equated President Franklin D. Roosevelt serving hot dogs and buns to the queen’s parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, in 1939.Three days later, Deaver escorted the queen to Sacramento to meet for lunch with Gov. George Deukmejian and legislative leaders.
