In this episode, Sam LeBlonde sits down with Matthew Wendel, who started as a dishwasher and ended up entertaining and cooking for the First Family during the George W. Bush administration at The White House, Camp David, and at the family’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. They also discuss his role as the General Manager of The Blair House, offering barbeque tips to world leaders, how food is a great equalizer, and his cookbook (and how it was partially inspired by Laura Bush’s mother).
