i am following the thread for a while, i think he is working a a cook or second chef, at the W.H. or us gov , they don't make a lot of money depends on the position.

Had to check because the son of one of best friends is Sam Kass who was the Obama's chef and he made $125,000 which is good money in any country.

Sam Kass (born 1980) is President Barack Obama's Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition Policy and Let’s Move Executive Director.

If his bio is correct on wikipedia he is not just a cook.

just for the information the W.H. Chef is a women Cris Comerford a Filipino-American from 2005, In 2009, Sam joined the White House Kitchen staff under Executive Chef Cris Comerford?s leadership as Assistant Chef and, in 2010, became Food Initiative Coordinator.

the original post said ( my husband is an executive chef having cooked for four a U.S. presidents during his career) might not be at the W.H. and its not clear if he was executive chef when cooked for four a U.S. presidents.

if he was and made a lot of $ there would not have been the the original tread
