What a president eats can tell you a lot about the man. What he serves to people at the White House is also revealing. All that is the subject of a new book by Alex Prud’homme, Dinner With The President: Food, Politics, and a History of Breaking Bread at the White House. You can buy it here. Prud’homme is the author, with his great aunt Julia Child of My Life in France,  a New York Times bestseller and the inspiration for half of the movie Julie and Julia. He's also written several important nonfiction books so he is well positioned to look at food and politics at the White House.

Today Bill again highlights the work of Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen. It is on the front lines of every major disaster in the world, from earthquakes and floods to wars. They have served millions of free meals to thousands and thousands of people. They deserve our support and you can help them by going to WCK.org.
