"He ordered dinner for me," Christie said."You mean he chose what you would eat?""Uh-huh.""You didn't ask him to do this?""No. The chef came out, who's the owner of the restaurant, and [Trump] said to him, 'Jean Georges, remember the appetizer you made for me last week when I was here? We'll take two of those. And remember that main course you made, the special thing you made for me? We'll take two of those, too.' And he looked at me and said, 'Don't worry, you'll love it.'"
