Local celebrity chefs Tyler Florence and Alice Waters are co-cheffing a fundraiser for President Obama at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Monday. They’ll be cooking dinner for 100 people, including the President and we assume the First Lady, and it’s $20,000 per person, or $40,000 per couple. Both Florence and Waters have cooked for Obama fundraisers before, Florence most recently in Tampa. And the President has previously quipped that his vegetable-averse, junk food-addicted personal aide Marvin Nicholson was “traumatized” by the last dinner Waters did for the campaign. Anyhow, if you have $40,000 lying around, will you take us? [Obama Foodorama via Scoop]
