Time for a woman Executive Chef at the White House?

Juliette at superchefblog is building on her earlier successful poll to bring guest chefs to the White House by opening up a new poll to choose the first ever woman executive chef for the White House.

Although I love to cook and thoroughly enjoy devouring the latest issue of Food & Wine, I'm not familiar with all that many top chefs, at least by name. The incomparable Jacques Pepin, the late, great Julie Child, Jacques spirited daughter Claudine Pepin (her hubby Roland Wesin is Chef at Portland's own Rivers Restaurant) are names and faces I'd recognize anywhere. But alas I am not as familiar with most of the many other top chefs of either gender. Largely it's a matter of short-term recall. I'm a fan of cooking shows, cooking magazines and avidly collect cookbooks. But, the names don't stick in my memory very well.

Juliette helps by putting up pictures of the candidates in her poll. So, don't be afraid to let the pictures help jog your memory. Plus, if you hold your cursor over a picture it gives you the chef's name and which restaurant she works at. Just click on the picture(s) of your choice to vote. But, don't try to stuff the ballot by multiple votes for one chef or your votes will be disqualified.

Go Vote!
