Really Weird Rules White House Chefs Are Forced To Follow

[@MashedFood]

Pho, A good tasting thick cut steak, and coleslaw for everyone!

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.

Random question: what kind of computer is in the B-roll at 3:23? The angles aren't ideal so the part where the CRT should be looks... *weird*, and the computer itself is just a vague black square I don't have any reference points for. It's ironically the fact that I *can't* make out what I'm looking at that makes me so curious, FWIW.

Why should those hundreds/thousands of eggs "hopefully never be eaten"? Nothing wrong with them. We always ate dyed and painted eggs as Easter. The dye doesnt' permeate the shell. And besides, it's edible dye.

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.

The presidential household is given specific funding by law, the president can assign who-ever he want to manage his household and staffs. That person can hire and fire any persons under that budget unless the president say otherwise.

[@IceCold_Troll]

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.

[@MrFungus420]

It's not strange that they don't get overtime...that is standard if you draw a salary instead of getting an hourly wage. What IS strange is how low that salary is.

[@dianedenham5259]

The president doesn't get paid overly much, considering. Guess it's a "paid by taxpayers' dollars" thing. It'd be interesting to know what other WH workers get paid.

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.

She didn't say that the Obama could do that. She was commenting on the fact that Obama asked the staff to make a beer scratch. She said that although the staff were enthusiastic to make it, one has to wonder if the staff considered to just run out and grab him a six pack

I couldn't imagine never cooking for myself or my family. Or if someone were cooking for me daily, never eating with them. It would take the intimacy and togetherness that a meal has away for me. If it were me I would choose a chef that could make meals I typically couldn't. I would do everything in my power to occasionally cook with them or at least be in the kitchen to draw inspiration from them. It may sound trivial but these people know your pallete your likes and dislikes from taste, texture, and presentation. It may sound silly but I would sooner this than golf, or camp David, or anything else presidents do for leisure. Food is a passion.
