You work up an appetite having your security detail drive you to and from the Ritz Carlton for $58 moisturizer, so it makes sense that Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt regularly has staffers fetch him afternoon snacks.
They aren't bringing him back Twinkies and Doritos, though, four people with knowledge of the matter told The Daily Beast. He often requests gourmet goodies from Dean & Deluca, and he's also a fan of Greek yogurt and protein bars. "I can't tell you how many times I was sent out to get protein bars on the orders of [Pruitt]," one person told The Daily Beast. When it comes to coffee, he requests that aides brew him pour-over coffee, none of that Keurig stuff that people who fly in coach drink. One person said Pruitt "regularly" sent staffers out for snacks, while the other described it as "frequently."
