White House state dinner ends with great admiration

The state dinner inspired by White House Chef Walter Scheib and held at Mount Lavnia Hotel at the Empire Ballroom amongst a distinguished gathering held last week was much admired by the guests.

Chef Walter Scheib, whose forte lies in serving up a taste in stories and recipes of his eleven years as the White House chef under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush from a unique vantage point, won a place in the audience during the later part of the evening. The highlight of the evening was the American cuisine prepared to the simple family meals to elaborate and formal State Dinner recipe creations which dazzled and delighted White House guests.

The evening was more of an interaction between the chef and the audience as opposed to a sit down dinner. There were very interesting questions directed at the chef about his unforgettable experience he encountered during his service time to the First family. The evening was comprised of revealing anecdotes, photographs, menus and special White House recipes.
