JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

A recent invitation to host an event at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas came as a most welcome request. I had the opportunity work with my old friend Chef Marti Mongiello. Marti is the former Executive Chef at Camp David. Marti and I worked together for several years during the Clinton Administration. Together, we produced a White House-Camp David tasting menu.

While at the Clinton Library I had a wonderful opportunity to give visitors a glimpse into the White House Kitchen through stories and rememberances. I recounted Presidential favorites along with doing a cooking demonstration. The house was full and the guests seemed to enjoy the tasting. Jennnifer Clark and her staff at Café 42 deserve much of the credit for the beautiful food and special evening.

The following day I was interviewed on KATV 7 where I did a 5 minute cooking demo. Afterwards I was off to the River Market District to check out local foods and artisanal products. Finally, I completed my reunion with a very successful booksigning at the Clinton Museum Store.
