The New Orleans Saints visited the White House earlier this week for a special ceremony honoring the Super Bowl champs. And the big guys didn't come empty handed -- they brought Gulf seafood, recipes and serious cooking skills. "While they're here today, several Saints players are going to spend some time teaching our staff their favorite Gulf seafood recipes," said President Obama. "So ... who's cooking?"
The White House put together a video featuring several members of the team cooking in the kitchen with White House chef Sam Kass. Tackle Zach Strief, Defensive End Bobby McCray, Center Nick Lecky and Kicker Garrett Harley rolled up the sleeves on their three-piece suits and showed the staff how to prepare a recipe from Streif's cookbook, When You're the Biggest Guy on the Team -- andouille sausage and Gulf shrimp marinated in Creole mustard, bourbon, honey and a little Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce.
"Put this in some French bread and you've got yourself a good po' boy," says Bobby McCray. Strief adds, "They've done a ton of testing [on the shrimp] and it's all been cleared. It's the best in the country."
Later they surprised Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, journalists and visitors in the White House briefing room with portions of the dish -- an edible tribute to New Orleans.
After the jump, an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of the Saints cooking with Sam Kass in the White House kitchen.

8-14-2010 @6:36PM maximus said... lighten up my buttt that scum bag obama why wouid anyone wanna go there noticed they waited to he went on his eighth vacation becore they visited lmao
8-14-2010 @9:07PM Karen said... Katy....what is your problem.....lighten up???? How about you face reality??? You think it's good public relations for the President of the United States to party in the kitchen of the White House with NFL players while my children wish they had enough to eat??? In case you haven't noticed...we're in a recession and it's up to the President to focus on the serious issues facing this country. Last weekend he was cooking on the grill in the backyard of the White House with NBA players. Now he's off on another "vacation" at taxpayers expense. These activiites ARE NOT the duties of the president . So, when my children are fed, clothed and housed properly.....then maybe you can tell me to lighten up...until then, stop talking like an idiot!!!
