A Peek Behind The Curtain At White House State Dinners

As President and Mrs. Obama get ready to host the Chinese President for a State Dinner tonight, we ask former White House executive chef Walter Sheib what it's like to prepare a meal that will help set the tone for relations between nations.

Sheib headed the White House kitchen for 11 years and planned dinners for world leaders like Nelson Mandela, Tony Blair, Jacques Chirac, and Boris Yeltsin.
