Who Wants to Be the Next White House Chef?
On my short list for job candidates who should be Obama’s White House Chef: Kurt Micheal Friese. As our President-Elect takes office and struggles to wrest the Farm Bill from the deathgrip of one of our nation’s largest lobbyist groups, I think Chef Friese would be ideal to serve up some good advice along with Obama’s dinner. (Pictured left, with his wife, Kim McWane Friese.)
My only worry is that the restaurant owner (Devotay in Iowa City), author of A Cook’s Journey, Slow Food in the Heartland, member of the board of directors for Slow Food USA, Edible Iowa River Valley editor-in-chief and contributor on Grist just might be too booked for the job. Chef Friese found a few moments, however, to fill out the “application.”
