The White House executive chef and executive pastry chef are primarily hired to serve the first family, which includes the kids, and to prepare food during official White House functions. However, while first kids have access to the five full-time chefs who work in the White House, they likely can't order an unlimited supply of their favorite foods because the first family actually foots the bill for their food.
