Here's what milkshake President Biden got at Cook Out

After President Biden stopped by Raleigh and gave remarks on investing in infrastructure and the economy, he went by Cook Out to grab a milkshake with Gov. Cooper.

RALEIGH, N.C. — During a visit to North Carolina, not only did we find out more about President Joe Biden's plans on investing in infrastructure and the economy — but we also found out what kind of milkshake he likes.

On Thursday, President Biden and NC Governor Roy Cooper stopped by a popular fast-food chain native to North Carolina -- Cook Out.

A White House Reporter from the Wall Street Journal said President Biden ordered a “black and white” shake and said it’s “triple thick”. He said it was vanilla with chocolate syrup.  He went back to the window and asked for a spoon. 

Before heading out, Gov. Cooper said “You’ll need that” (referring to the spoon).
