Brainfood at the White House
Invited by the First Lady's office, nearly twenty Brainfood teens demonstrated their kitchen skills at the White House. The Brainfood teens assisted the White House Executive Chef and her staff by preparing a July 4th barbeque for more than 1,200 active military and their families. To assist the chefs, the youth spent several days preparing vegetables, shucking corn, and harvesting herbs from the White House garden. Brainfood youth also assisted the White House chefs with preparations for the Congressional Luau and White House Staff Picnic.
Paul Dahm, Executive Director of Brainfood, said "Our young people come from some of Washington's poorest neighborhoods and preparing food for the President of the United States, his family and guests is an honor and privilege they could never have imagined, but not surprisingly, they were fully up to the task."
