Bill Clinton Went To In-N-Out In The Valley
William Jefferson Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States of America and former McDonald's connoisseur, betrayed his famed allegiance to the golden arches by stopping at an In-N-Out in Canoga Park this afternoon.

Bubba, a vegan for six years now, allegedly ordered "at least 50 burgers and fries," TMZ reports. The grub was likely for Hillary Clinton campaign staffers, who have less than four days to get their Double Double fixes until the state primary on Tuesday.
While there, Clinton happened to run into the mother of Chris Brown's child, Nia Guzman, pictured above, who TMZ reports was waiting for her order when Bill came in, flanked by a bunch of Secret Service agents. Here's an expanded version of the photo, which really proves that Bill's still got the ability to shmooze (but Bill, if you see this...don't read the comments!).

Good question, Mollie. If we are to believe what this Clinton staffer told the New York Times in 1992, it's possible that he consumed "a glass of water and a cup of coffee," as he was wont to do at McDonald's back in the day.

No matter what Bill consumed in the Canoga Park establishment, hopefully it smelled a little better than it did a while ago for his visit!

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
