Part 2/7:
The journey into JFK's last meal starts at the Hilton Fort Worth, previously known as the Hotel Texas, where President Kennedy spent his final hours. Although he attended a grand breakfast event with nearly 2,000 attendees, JFK’s breakfast was primarily eaten in the privacy of his hotel room. The order was notably simple; a recording of the event reveals the specifics requested by his valet:
5-minute boiled egg
Crisp bacon
Fresh orange juice
Coffee with hot milk
Toast with butter on the side
Orange marmalade
This uncomplicated breakfast setup carries the weight of history, marking the last tastes of a president unaware of the tragedy that awaited him.
