WHITE HOUSE DINNER PART OF GETTYSBURG FESTIVAL

TAKE A CULINARY TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE

Susan Eisenhower and Chef Walter Scheib Share Memories

GETTYSBURG, PA – May 29, 2012 – The White House is a very different place for a young girl whose grandfather sits in the Oval Office and a professional chef planning state dinners. Attendees at the Gettysburg Festival White House Dinner on Saturday, June 16 will have the unique opportunity to hear about both experiences, while enjoying fine delicacies from three presidential administrations.

Hosted by the Eisenhower Institute, special guest Susan Eisenhower will share her memories of the White House during her grandfather’s administration, then Walter Scheib, White House Chef for the Clinton and Bush administrations, will discuss his experiences in the President’s house. All the while, guests will enjoy an extraordinary dinner and fine wines.

At the Wyndham Gettysburg, the premier culinary partner for Gettysburg Festival’s culinary events, Executive Chef Claude Rodier will replicate on one of Scheib’s signature four-course White House dinners.  With dinner from 5 to 7:30 pm, guests will easily be able to attend the Festival’s 8 pm evening concert, Red Molly, at the Majestic Theater.  Tickets for this exceptional event are $100 and can be obtained at GettysburgFestival.org.
