Michelle Obama has worked up an appetite!

Look back on the Obama's 100 days in Washington.

The first lady and a group of 20 staff members and friends had lunch at Good Stuff Eatery -- owned by Top Chef alumni Spike Mendelsohn -- on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Friday.

The group dined on a variety of burgers and turkey burgers as well as french fries and the restaurants signature hand-spun toasted marshmallow shakes.

Take a look at the Obama family album.

"She was smiling and making jokes the entire time," a source tells Usmagazine.com. "It looked like the best ladies lunch ever. Everyone was sharing fries and trying each other's burgers and shakes."

The table even had a few aptly named "Obama Burgers," which is a fresh, farmhouse burger topped with bacon, blue cheese, Mendelsohn's homemade onion marmalade and a horseradish mayo.

See other ways the Obama family is just like Us.

"This was the best honor of my life," Mendelsohn -- who recently won best burger in the country at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival's Burger Bash -- tells Us. "I absolutely love Michelle Obama and love the family. Now we just need the president. Hopefully he'll follow her lead and come visit Good Stuff. Women know best, Mr. President!"

Barack Obama has a taste for burgers, too. He and Vice President Joe Biden lunched at local favorite Ray's Hell Burger in Virginia earlier this week.

    Yes, it's great that Obama is the first biracial President but I can't abide people fawning over him and his family. The Obama's are praised for their parenting, how they dress and for going out on dates or family trips among other things. They're no better parents than any of our former Presidents and their wives. I won't idolize politicians or celebrities.

    Taylor is a big fat, red neck from the trailor park, receiving food stamps, and she is so bitter about it! She's probably nibbling on Gov cheese at this moment the big FAT PIG! Only big fat red necks think like Taylor, and they wish they had some power, but they don't know anything about God, then they would know that all power is in his hands! Red necks have NO power! HA HA!!

He is an idiot and if you can't see him giving money to worthless companies that file bankruptcy and get to keep our children't money than you'll are morons.

    Taylor, this isn't a racial issue just because Obama is being referred to. Both Barack and Michelle have good and bad points like everyone else. Just comment on the above article you want to comment on and leave racial opinions out of it. Barack Obama has much to be criticized about because of his politics but leave race out of it.

    Taylor, its way to early to determine the outcome. You are clearly not as smart as you think you are. Learn, study, grow and by all means read more. Dang...stupidity running amuck!!!

    Taylor, you are the biggest fool God ever blew breath into. Your stats are wrong. I know "some" of white america seem to be comfortable thinking that blacks are "all" on welfare but the truth is there are more whites on welfare. your ignorance is why blacks continue to gain more and more political and financial control. I guess you have to have some reason t
