The US has a new diplomatic tool to improve its foreign relations -cooking!
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has signed up 80 celebrity chefs from across the nation to cook special themed-menus for foreign dignitaries in an attempt to influence diplomatic relations, the Daily Mail reported.
More than 80 top-rated chefs were inducted into the first American Chef Corps on Friday. The State Department plans to use the chefs to cook meals for visiting dignitaries and travel to US embassies abroad to help educate foreign audiences and host culinary experts from around the world in their US kitchens.
"The new Diplomatic Culinary Partnership is part of Clinton's philosophy of using 'every diplomatic tool at our disposal," US Chief of Protocol Capricia Penavic Marshall was quoted as saying by the paper.
...Chefs who have prepared a diplomatic meal or special program are being anointed State Chefs, a distinction that comes with a navy jacket with the American flag and their names embroidered in gold.
The way Hillary’s been hittin the bottle lately I’m sure she also signed up some of the top distilleries.
Hilary’s Department of State must be the laughing stock of the world!

Obama voters have been redirected to be angry at wealthy US citizens not paying their fair share, as this administration transfers wealth out of US.
spending then printing more money, to add to their lower quality of life.
Not to mention the costs of those dandy Navy Blue blazers with Gold trim and the American Flag on them probably purchased from that guy who fleeced us for the Olympics costumes made in China. In this case I say Remove the American Flag — Save us the embarassment.
The hogly mooch is mentally ill. Really. She really is.
Do they know how to cook Halal meals?
My bad. Sorry.
I thought they were talking about the present hogly mooch occupying our WH and not the past fatter hoglier mooch who occupied our house.
Indeed the whiskey fish has more lines than a map.

The first one who uses butter, sugar or well marbled kobe steak will be answering to Moochelle.
Thunder thighs figures the way to good relations is a good meal. I suppose it beats the reset button idea.
How much is all of this costing the taxpayer?
Obama’s new slogan: FORWARD...to the kitchen.
