WASHINGTON - There was a lunchtime surprise for people dining at a certain restaurant in Washington, DC, today as president Barack Obama walks in. The president greeted folks and shook hands as he walked into the five guys fast-food restaurant just before 1pm.

He ordered cheeseburgers for himself and several members of his staff and paid about 80 dollars in cash. As he waited for his order, Mr. Obama proceeded to walk around the restaurant, asking people where they were from and how they were doing. He even took time for a photo with restaurant staff.
