Here’s the menu, in case anyone else was curious.

Too bad he's one of Obama's favorite chefs --<em>I</em> don't think he should get the job! If not Tramonto, then maybe Bruce Sherman from North Pond Cafe. He cooks French-American by way of India and Southeast Asia.</p> I think Bayless is kind of overrated. Too bad he’s one of Obama’s favorite chefs —I don’t think he should get the job!

His cookbook "Vegetables" is one of my all time favorites. However, it is obvious that Obama likes his Chicago connections, so I think he should go with Rick Tramonto for chef and Gale Gand for the pastries.</p> Oh, I absolutely vote for James Peterson.

The world's most perfect rye bread comes from Orwasher's on E. 78th St in Manhattan, and the first time I tried it, I was convinced that I had found the answer to world peace.</p> I totally hear you when it comes to food as a breakthrough in negotiations.

An excerpt from an interview with Obama:

“For instance, who’s your favorite movie or TV president? You know who was a great movie president? Jeff Bridges in The Contender. That was a great movie president. He was charming and essentially an honorable person, but there was a rogue about him. The way he would order sandwiches — he was good at that.

Is that one of the things you’re looking forward to? Confounding the White House kitchen staff with obscure sandwich requests? Absolutely. I want to test them. I want to see if I can get any sandwich I want.”
