the first family does not get free grub,except for state dinners.
they are charged fancy hotel room service rates for their meals.

Do they have their own kitchen?
Can Michelle or her mom cook for the family?

the staff also makes meals for state affairs,official meals with members of congress and whatnot.
i dont think michelle and her mom can cook for 300 people.

They could hire day people for those things.
That is if the cost is a problem for them.

There are many other choices than staff chefs and hiring off the street.
