what is on the menu this evening? reporter: yasmin, i have to confess most of my spare thoughts to the extent i have time in italy is about food. this was an assignment i took very seriously. this is what s on the menu tonight at the g20. salmon marinaded with herbs and fennel ris sose toe, pumpkin, white truffle. that makes it sing. sea bass with roasted artichoke. artichoke, a very roman ingredient. joe biden is thinking dessert. tangerine cream dessert. i ve been to an italian restaurant with the president before in hi years covering him, his taste is simple, he usually orders chicken parm, side of spaghetti, chocolate chip rice cream for dessert. i think even he will enjoy this menu tonight, a little more refined than what he s used to. hopefully not too highbrow for the president. the way that you delivered it, i felt like i was sitting being told the specials at the italian restaurant. really makes you sing, right?
