Dreaming of Joe's BBQ in the White House

KHOU-11 has the story of a local BBQ chef/owner who is in the running to become the new White House chef:

Joe Saladino of Joe’s Bar-B-Q says he could bowl the Bush’s over with his beef brisket.

He guarantees it will melt in their mouths after slow-cooking each one in special ovens for 24 hours.

“I’ve been doing this about 30 years,” said Saladino. “We’ve fed everybody from astronauts to baseball players.”

Saladino is among several chefs around the country being considered for the White House job.

“Got my resume together — I’ve never had a resume,” said Saladino. “Probably only worked for one other person in my whole life.”

It could take weeks to find out if Saladino made the cut, but he’s already thinking about cooking his first dinner for the first family.

“Barbecue beef brisket, homemade potato salad, sausage and pork ribs, homemade blueberry cobbler with Blue Bell ice cream,” Saladino said.

Oh man! That sounds so good.
