White House Woman Chef: Thanks

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Superchefblog would like to wrap up the week with a special thanks to those who helped us here (under the assumption that superchefblog contributed some way to Cris Comerford's selection, importantly the first-ever woman to be White House executive chef): Bullfrog & Baum, particularly Jennifer Baum and Helen Baldus An anonymous, distinguished Washington, DC-based food writer First Lady Laura Bush and staff members, for having the courage to do boldly what no one had done before Richard Hamilton, for putting trust and confidence in superchefblog Mental Whir, for technical support 43 women chefs in the poll -- in particular -- Sara Moulton (always supportive) -- and -- Cris Comerford, for the courtesy of letting superchefblog know she really existed back in March and confirming that we had her photo (superchefblog was perhaps the only source to publicize it before August 14, 2005) -- and for being so discrete as to assure herself the possibility of her selection For those who care about such issues, be sure to celebrate this week. Let's say it again, before the moment passes: WAY TO GO, CRIS!
