"Barack Obama, your burrito is ready."

"Barack Obama, your burrito is ready."

That's right: the President of the United States recently visited Duke's Armadillo Grill. That, or someone decided to use a fake name when filling out their order slip.

Generic Script

For some reason, it seems that being asked to supply a name for a food order compels people to create a fake name, or assume the identity of a celebrity.

“We get celebrity names occasionally,” said Audrey, a Dillo employee. “We get Weezy, we get MacGyver, we get Obama a lot. This one kid always comes in and uses Lil Jon.”

Why do customers choose to mask their identity when ordering food? Do they fear people judging their food selection, or are they just after a laugh? Unfortunately, these imposters are hard to track down, since their clever prank keeps their name a mystery.

Whatever the reason, this trend is not just limited to Duke’s campus. According to online ordering website Allmenus.com, "Jennifer Lopez" has sent in 218 orders in the past year, while the deceased Michael Jackson has ordered 160 times.

Learn from this data, readers: next time you hear someone shout out “Lady Gaga” at a restaurant, be skeptical. After all, it is probably just President Brodhead trying to remain anonymous.
