And High-Dive in the kitchen. How did a reality show star get to cook at the White House? From ABC News headquarters, this is ABC World News with Diane Sawyer. And still ahead on World News, how do you go from a high school star in Texas to a powerful chief of a Mexican drug cartel? The fugitive so glamorous, they’re calling him the Barbie. And the meal of a lifetime. The pressure on the chef at the White House tonight. This is ABC World News with Diane Sawyer brought to you by Advil PM.
And if you’re worrying about dinner tonight, think about the chef was preparing the state dinner. From reality TV to a guest appearance in the White House kitchen, here’s Sheryl Alfonzi. Rick Bayless is used to serving up sensational dinners. He won America’s top chef masters on Bravo
and won over the Obamas when they used to spend their date nights at his Chicago restaurants.
And tonight Bayless who grew up at his parent’s barbeque restaurant is the guest chef at the White House state dinner.
As the President and First Lady welcome the president of Mexico and his wife, Bayless is in the belly of the White House, turning out dinner for 200 invited guests. No, the invited guests. The tables are set in the east room for his four course meal. “I’m going to be making a mole and I think it’s got 27, 28 different ingredients in it.” To compound the complexity of that, Bayless couldn’t order any of the ingredients himself. It had to be done by the White House to be sure the food is safe for the President.
Bayless twittered yesterday, “The White House staff couldn’t be nicer and more professional. Most worried about ingredients, but all will be here for big day.” And that got the chef in some hot water곤경. Apparently you’re not supposed to twit from the White House. But Bayless said he didn’t. He twitted from the hotel. He since gone silent. The chef presumably busy stirring up something other than controversy. No one at the White House has an appetite for that again this year.
