Chef Haller Speaks with a Visitor in the White House Kitchen

This photograph shows White House Executive Chef Henry Haller (right) consulting with an unidentified man in the White House Kitchen. As executive chef from 1966-1987, Haller developed recipes suiting the tastes of five first families and their distinguished guests. During his tenure, Haller oversaw over 250 State Dinners, prepared meals for some of the largest gatherings ever held at the White House, and catered the White House wedding receptions of first daughters Luci Baines Johnson, Lynda Bird Johnson, and Tricia Nixon. This photograph is part of Chef Haller's personal collection.
