Searching for articles on the White House pastry chef’s departure, I noticed that several newspapers had picked up the story. In a nutshell, WH pastry chef Bill Yosses, who was hired by Laura Bush in 2007, has decided to leave.
The Daily Caller reports that his decision is “bittersweet,” and cites Michelle Obama as having “ordered Yosses to make healthier plates in smaller portions.”
Similarly, The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Yosses
says that Michelle Obama is to blame. Since she came to the White House, she’s ordered Yosses to cut down the portions in addition to making them healthier.
First it was replacing the butter. Then the sugar.
“I don’t want to demonize cream, butter, sugar and eggs,” Yosses said.
And then, The Washington Post weighed in:
White House pastry chef Bill Yosses is hanging up his apron in June and heading to New York.
The man behind the sweet creations served up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue began telling friends a few days ago that he’s leaving the White House kitchen, where he’s known for his crowd-pleasing desserts and his love of the first lady’s garden, to be with his husband in New York and continue to focus on “food literacy….”
No mention of anything remotely critical of Queen Mooch.
God forbid…
Good for him. Get outta there before he loses his reputation. The O’s are not good for business. Cream, butter, sugar, and eggs. Throw in some choclate and it’s America’s staple diet. Well, pretty close.
1)Fake garden. 2)Bad school lunches. 3)Move like Richard Simmons. 4)Tasteless dessert for you.

I wonder if Mooch will hire Paula Deen to take his place…. just sayin’
Funny article (in a tragi-comic way). Dylan Byers possibly maybe has a conversation with the First Lady’s spokesperson, not for attribution.
