Obamas Controversial Date Night Is Causing National Outrage, See Why If you happened to pay attention to Bon Appetits Hot 10 list for 2014, you would have seen Estela in New York as number three on the list.

Are you sick of the Obamas putting themselves and their lifestyles above the American people?
