WASHINGTON—The White House’s executive chef has retired after nearly three decades of making meals and cooking up state dinners for five different presidents and their families. Cris Comerford is the first woman to hold the job, and is also the first person of color to be executive chef.
White House executive chef Cris Comerford holds dishes as she speaks during a media preview for the State Dinner with President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, Nov. 30, 2022. Comerford has retired after nearly three decades of making meals and cooking up state dinners for five different presidents and their families.
Cris Comerford is the first woman to hold the job, and is also the first person of color to be executive chef. Her last day was Friday. First lady Jill Biden thanked her for her service in a statement on Tuesday. Comerford, 61, sharpened her culinary skills while working at hotels in Chicago and restaurants in Washington before the White House brought her on in 1995 as an assistant chef.
She and pastry chef Susie Morrison—also the first woman in that job—formed a duo that has tantalized the taste buds of guests at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their culinary creations for nearly a decade.
