What it’s like to cook for Donald

Does Trump snack? He doesn’t. At least not in the normal way. Some people like their M&Ms or their jelly beans or their almonds. He just runs, runs, runs, all the time. White House lore is that Trump had a button to get someone to bring him a Diet Coke. Is that true? That’s true. Which president was the easiest to cook for? Hardest?

Easiest by far was President Obama, because they had the garden and wanted to get everything from the garden. The hardest was Trump. There was not a lot of diversity to it. As a chef, you want to be able to explore and have more fun. With him and [Melania Trump], it was black and white.
