Obamas fly in chef 860 miles... just to make pizza

By MAIL FOREIGN SERVICE 10th April 2009

When you're the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do - even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.

Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.

He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn.

Great honour: Chris Sommers will make 20 pizzas for the Obamas and their staff at a White House dinner

'It's surreal, it's a huge honour,' said Mr Sommers, who owns Pi restaurant in St Louis.

'It will be a casual lunch and hopefully we'll have a chance to say hello to the president.'

Mr Somers was accompanied by this business parnter Ryan Mangilardo who will help prepare the dinner for 140 this evening.

It will feature his signature dishes - ten deep dish and ten thin crust creations.

He is also planning a pizza especially for the president - the Hyde Park topped with chicken and hot sauce.

The Clinton's, who will attend, requested the "Ft. Marcy Park" pizza. It's to die for.

Shouldn’t the correct title be
“ American taxpayers pay to fly in pizza chef for the self indulgent Obamas “ ?

Whose jet did he fly in on? Who paid for it?

Who is tracking the carbon footprints?

Whose account are the carbon footprints being charged to?

Its good to have a President who dines like a king. No outrage from the MSM or liberals over the special treatment Zero expects - and gets.

The Little People have to make do with Pizza Hut or Domino's delivery. No designer cuisine pizza for them!
