Obamas' personal chef Sam Kass done with cooking at White House

Sam Kass, the Chicagoan who became the Obama family personal chef when they lived in Kenwood and followed them to the White House, is leaving the White House to be with his wife, the MSNBC political analyst Alex Wagner, in New York.

Kass, who helped Obama build the White House kitchen garden, brew its "Honey Brown Ale," has also served as executive director of Michelle Obama's anti-childhood obesity initiative and became the White House's first senior adviser on nutrition, the Independent reported.

The US President said that his chef had made a real difference for our next generation.

Michelle Obama said that Kass leaves an extraordinary legacy of progress, including healthier food options in grocery store aisles, more nutritious school lunches, and new efforts that have improved how healthy food is marketed to our kids.
