Welcome to my Blog

Hi, my name is Walter Scheib. For eleven years, from 1994 to 2005, I was the White House Chef. I cooked for the Clintons and the George W. Bush first families.

I'm currently running my own business called TheAmericanChef.com which takes me around to all areas of the United States. I have the opportunity to speak and cook at some very interesting venues whether they are in large cities or very small towns. I meet lots of interesting people, including clients, cooks and service staff. I now get to see many new places for the very first time.

As I travel throughout the country I'll be posting to this blog to share my experiences with you. In the next 3 weeks, I'll be in Washington, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Florida, West Virginia, New York City, New Jersey, Nashville, Dallas & Milwaukee. So you can see it's going to be a whirlwind tour.

I have a book out that was published by Wiley in January called, “White House Chef, Eleven years, Two Presidents, One kitchen” which you can pick up from Amazon. On occasion I will post to this blog about my experiences in the White House as well.

I’m looking forward to sharing my observations about traveling throughout the country, meeting people, finding great regional food, (with any luck) fishing, and of course - cooking.

It would be wonderful to get your feedback. Just send an email using the “blog comments” link to the right of this page.

Most important of all, thank you sharing my new blog adventure with me.
