First up, vegan devilled eggs.
Von der Pool, who was tasked with creating the hors d'oeuvres, created the plant-based eggs, using Yukon potatoes instead of animal products. Other bites included rice cakes topped with collard greens and cucumber salsa, truffled potato bites, and coconut ceviche.
"Each hors d’oeuvre tells a story, essentially about the depth of America," she told Vogue. "I wanted to focus on the vegetables that give America it's flavour."
Next up was the first course, created by King. She served up a sushi dish: fresh hamachi, drizzled with citrus, olive and Sichuan chilli.
Her goal here was to "create a dish that embodied the beautiful mix of vibrant cultures and ethnicities of immigrants that make up the DNA of America today".
Samuelsson himself created the main course, which consisted of a barbecue striploin steak with carrots, rice, and cornbread crumble.
Dessert was perhaps the most obvious reference to the gilded age - chocolate cake with cappuccino mousse, all crafted in the shape of a dainty teacup.
Like we said, very fancy.
It looks like the food might not have hit the spot for everyone, though.
Joe Jonas later shared a picture to Instagram of himself chowing down on some pizza.
We feel you, Joe.
