Apparently, Donald Trump isn’t appeased with simply plastering theTrump name across buildings, board games, magazines and NBC’s TheApprentice. Nope, The Donald still wants more. So now he’s shillinga line of eponymous mail-order steaks that thepress release claims "delivers a taste of Donald Trumps’ luxuriouslifestyle". Mmmmm, Trumpy goodness. At the official launch on Tuesday, Trump boasted to the crowd he chows down on cow at least twice a week,but at no point did The Donald ever point to the porterhouse smolderingin a nearby skillet and say "You’re Fried!" How they missed thisglorious chance for a corporate tie-in with his Apprenticecatchphrase is beyond me. Shouldn’t it all be about synergy?
In other foodie news, fans gearing up for the season 3 premiere of Bravo’s Top Chef on June 6 might becurious to know how the judges keep their culinary muscles exercised duringthe hiatus. They eat, of course! On Monday night, Top Chef judges TomColicchio and Gail Simmons, along with host Padma Lakshmi, attended areception after the James Beard Awards at Lincoln Center — basicallythe Oscars for the food world — that offered a mind-blowing array ofculinary morsels. I caught both Gail and Tom actually smile, nod, andsmile again after tasting tiny bites of delicacies from some of the best restaurants in the country. See, they can do it. Sure, we’venever seen it happen on Top Chef — but who knows? This could be theseason, people! And if you’re wondering why the gourmet food-related entry —the staff at EW are couch potatoes but why’s it got to be all aboutPringles?

You missed the best part! That photo graces the cover of The Sharper Image catalogue! That’s his venue for selling his steaks! Yeah, you can’t beat The Sharper Image for luxury (actually, that’s probably true).
Oh please please please change “Your” to “You’re.” Please. It’s hurting my brain.
You forgot to mention the Trump bottled water. He should come up with Trump condoms and stop reproducing. What a big loser.
He’d pimp himself out to anything to make a buck.
The man is a money-maker! He knows how to turn a few dollars into a pot of gold. Now, if only we did not have to always see his mug on everything he sells. Ouch!
Geez you scared me…I thought Donald Trump was going to guest on Top Chef and ruin my beloved show!
It Stinks!!! Trumpy you can do stupid things.
QVC is also going to be selling Trump Steaks on air sometime soon…he’s everywhere!
why would anyone buy a mail order steak?! He should sell mail order brides instead, great time in to the Miss Universe pagent, “You can have Miss Singapore…for a price”
