Really Weird Rules White House Chefs Are Forced To Follow

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.

its not the dye, its the hours they spend outside of the refrigerator while staff hides and then children look for them. Food police are overly concerned about salmonella. i say as long as the egg isnt cracked and its not sweltering outside, eat it.

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.

All this and Trump brought in Burger King and McDonald's for his guests Edit - I get it people, the gov't was shut down and chefs were not working. Doesn't detract from the fact that Trump bought FAST FOOD when he very easily could have catered a fancy restaurant or found some other way to take care of his guests. Bottom line, he didn't care

Y’all are just plain stupid... that was during a government shutdown. Whitehouse chefs are government employees so they weren’t working. He bought all of the food with his own money so that they would at least still have some kind of dinner. He would’ve obviously used the staff if that were an option... please do your research before commenting something you know nothing about. :)

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.
