President Bush plans to get a second helping of Dan Tang's Chinese food this week.
Tang, owner of the Heaven Dragon Chinese restaurant in the Denver suburb of Thornton, said he was asked to deliver duck, chicken and shrimp dishes to the president and about 20 others traveling with him today. He first served the president in 2002.
"I feel excited, even more excited than the first time," Tang said. "He came back like a return customer."
The first meal was made possible by Colorado Sen. Wayne Allard. Tang told Allard that he dreamed of cooking for the president and Allard passed along a recommendation.
Tang and two other chefs are preparing the presidential meal, which will include Peking duck, sesame chicken, Hunan chicken and crispy shrimp. Bush will give the commencement address at the Air Force Academy on Wednesday near Colorado Springs.
Tang said he's registered as an unaffiliated voter.
"I'm a middle-of-the-road guy," Tang said. "You don't pick sides. It's best for business if you don't pick sides."
