Many questions have been raised about the secret teams inside the white house, such as the Executive Chef, since the presidential race is going on fire.

The current White House Executive Chef is Cristeta Pasia Comerford who is the first woman and first Filipino-American to hold this position.

Born in 1962 in the Plippinian Sampaloc, she studied food technology and was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.

After graduation, she moved to the US at the age of 23 and worked as a chef in different restaurants and hotels since she joined the White House kitchens in 1995 after being recruited by White House executive chef Walter Scheib.

"While her career as the White House executive chef started in 2005 after she was appointed to this position by the former first lady Laura Bush, her passion for cooking can be tasted in every bite of her delicious creations,” Bush told the New York Times.

Since then Comerford is responsible for setting the main presidential tables, official dinners, and banquets.

Currently, she is recognized as one of the most famous chefs around the world and many people insist to take photos with her during the official press meetings and conferences.
