THE FOOD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF: Current
Top Chef Masters champion Rick Bayless is cooking for 200 at next week's state dinner honoring the President of Mexico, and
talks to the Times about the special difficulties of cooking for POTUS, including the inability to pre-prepare sauces and order/bring ingredients on your own.
Bayless' salsas (available at your local Whole Foods) are top-notch, and I suspect dinner guests (and any crashers) are in for a most-excellent meal.
