While the Obamas have yet to discuss any culinary changes in the White House, some chefs have discussed what they would prepare for the inaugural dinner if called to task. The only New York chef asked was Eric Ripert, who also has a DC restaurant. He said that if he was in charge "he would highlight different regions of the country by offering prawns from Santa Barbara, Calif.; scallop chowder from Nantucket Bay and stuffed quail with Wisconsin cheddar grits. And for a comforting finish Ripert would end with an American favorite: peanut butter. Or rather, a peanut butter souffle."
