Hired by First Lady Hillary Clinton to become White House
chef in 1994, Walter Scheib faced a daunting challenge—to
take an outdated kitchen focused on traditional French
cooking and make it a modern showcase for restaurant-quality
American food, featuring the best seasonal ingredients and
vibrant contemporary flavors. Scheib seized the opportunity
and the world noticed. Menus and even some culinary
controversies were reflected in major publications such as
the New York Times and Newsweek, and were the subject of
political cartoons like Doonesbury. Scheib's meals were
praised by high-profile epicures including Julia Child and
French prime minister Jacques Chirac. As more was
accomplished, more was expected, and Scheib stepped up,
serving thousands of innovative meals during the Clinton
years and through the first term of the Bush administration.
