  • Being President of the United States is a stressful job, but there are definitely some perks, including a team of private chefs at the ready at all hours of the day. While it’s obviously a decent-paying job, there are some weird rules that you’ll have to follow if you’re going to be a chef in the White House. First and foremost, you’re hired by the President’s spouse, so you can be fired at any given time, and you might have to make some truly weird items, if the First Family is so inclined. Let’s take a look at some really weird rules White House chefs are forced to follow.

      A standing buffe table for eating every hour regardless of time a day, and lots of variation on it. You get tired of eating the same thing every day, especially if its on a buffe. Lots of seasonal variation, regional, exotic, whatever. Because I have very irregular hours I need my crew to be able of eating immediately and whenever, like breakfast in the middle of the night.

    Ah. The life of a Chef. No over-time pay (Check), long hours (Check), available all the time (Check), no job security (Check). Love my career. This isn't JUST the White House. This is every job in the restaurant industry. Every time you've gone out to eat, there's likely a line cook who's been working a 12-14 hour day to serve you, with no over-time pay. Oh, and that holiday he wanted off (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas?). Strong no. You work when you need to work. There's no Mon-Fri here, it's Mon/Tues, Thurs/Fri/Sat with split days off and long work days.

    This reminds me of Trump ordering fast food for the top athletes. They had the once in a lifetime opportunity to have a royal meal by incredible chefs and were deprived of that for cold hamburgers and fries and T. was stupid enough to think that was a good thing.

      Wasn't that during Congress throwing yet another temper tantrum and locking down the Government yet again? Government lockdown = Federal employees (including the White House kitchen staff) can't work or _won't_ work because they're not getting paid = the President has to get on the phone and order some Private Sector catering or whatnot.

    Secret service agents shop from random stores for ingredients going into the first family meals. The food placed in front of the president at State dinners for instance is cooked separately from the meal and is closely supervised by the Secret service.
