(After Dedicating Banquet Room To Obama, Long-Time Patrons Pledge Boycott)

Restaurateur/philanthropist Bruno Serato, owner of the critically acclaimed Anaheim White House, is under attack after having dedicated one of the restaurant’s private dining rooms to President Barack Obama. In a spirit of unity and national pride, the restaurateur announced a dedication ceremony for the new Obama Room (it also has rooms dedicated to notable republicans like Reagan and Bush) only to be blindsided by a barrage of emails and voicemails from long time patrons announcing that they intend to boycott his restaurant.

Shocked and dismayed by the negative comments, Serato is speaking out against the vitriolic response from the community, which is known as a conservative hotbed. Serato, an Italian immigrant who achieved the American Dream thanks to hard work and a dedication to dining perfection, is also known for his extensive philanthropy particularly his own nonprofit that feeds 50,000 underprivileged children each year.
