Who Will Be The New Executive Chef?

Change is indeed coming...to the White House kitchen.

Word is that the Obama's prefer organic foods, locally sourced fruits and veggies, and lean meats - a big change from the current White House kitchen menu, which right now consists of fried chicken and grilled cheese sandwiches.

According to the Daily News, three top chefs have emerged as contenders for the true title of "Top Chef":

Art Smith
Smith prepared Obama's meal at Oprah Winfrey's star-studded fund-raiser for the candidate at her home. He has won two James Beard Foundation Awards and has cooked for former Florida governors Bob Graham and Jeb Bush.
Current Job: Winfrey's personal chef for the past decade. Owner of Chicago's Table Fifty-Two.

Rick Bayless
When Obama and his wife, Michelle, head out for a night in Chicago, they opt for Bayless' Topolobampo.
Current Job: Owner of Chicago Mexican restaurants Topolobampo and Frontera Grill.

Daniel Young
Young cooked for Obama at the Democratic National Convention.
Current Job: Personal chef to Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony.
