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.

If you were the president, what would you want on the menu?

[krisfrederick]

Even as the POTUS, I would feel like an ass waking someone else up at 2 AM for some Pizza Rolls.

$80k - $100k for a full-time, private chef might be a bit of a lowball amount, especially with no overtime pay, but the job has amazing prestige. Any chef that could put that on their resume would get any job they wanted after that.

you can tell whoever created this video has never worked in a commercial kitchen before....none of the "shocking" demands listed are unusual for any restaurant or catering kitchen

[mozzyforest]

Chefs are largely unappreciated everywhere and anywhere!

I think the overtime compensation comes in the form of being able to put “White House Chef” on your CV...

The rule that the first lady is in charge of hiring the executive chef and can fire them is probable from a time in history when it was the wife's job to manage the staff.

okay, i seriously almost vomited when she mentioned that Nixon liked to eat cottage cheese smothered in ketchup 🤢 it’s seriously difficult for me to even dream up anything more revolting than that 🤮

Most people don't realize that the president's family pays for the food they eat, unless it's for an official function. Both GWB and Obama said they had sticker shock the first time the monthly bill was presented to them.

What they don't say is: having the gig on your resume is a *bigly* thing for your career.

A number of these are a surprise. The chefs are household positions, not government jobs, and the wife is traditionally responsible for running the household. Also, the chef is responsible for all food and drink made in the household, unless there’s a special position for a particular food or drink

[pheflin]

I’m a chef in DC, my roommate is a sous chef at an embassy, nothing here is unusual to us

[green__.mushrooms]

I wonder if the president is ever like can I have some mac'en cheese and tacos while wearing some sweat pants

[Choirboy]

Imagine getting the job, and the President serving McDonald’s all the time. What a slap in the face.

[rondifrankel]

The White House isn't a restaurant. It is the president's family's home. Everyone else has the right to eat what the like in their own home, why not the first family?

[mr.cooper]

The chef can be fired at any time and for any reason.

Yeah, you're in America. That's how it works.

[TheStraycat]

2:14 that's called At-Will Employment, and most people in the real world live under it. At-will means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without incurring legal liability

[HeadlessChickenTO]

No overtime for chefs? Sounds like any other kitchen gig...

Missed marketing opportunity - First Beer, Barack Obeerma. The Official beer of the White House.

If anyone ever planned an event or catered a wedding then you know none of the state dinner information is odd.
