Ever moving forward as the goliath, we have had 30 million+ visitors to the center, website, museum, theater, and been featured on CNN International, ABC, CBS, NBC, Spectrum, Vitaya, BrusselsTV, NHK Tokyo, PBS, and FOX to almost three billion viewers. Guests staying at The Inn of the Patriots enjoy a private tour. We've been featured in 160+ newspapers and magazines on earth, in just 12 years. As seen in the Official Museum Directory in partnership with the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), as a Blue Star Museum with the National Endowment for the Arts, a licensed partner with Google Cultural Institute (enter for digital collections), and officially listed with the North Carolina Museum Council (NCMC) we are featuring each of the Presidents.


Additionally, artifacts, antiques, and individual items have been sent from the United States National Archives, The Bush Foundations, President Carter, President Reagan, President Ford, President Obama, President Trump, President Eisenhower, and The Clinton Foundation. The Presidential Culinary Museum® is a small portion of the United States Food History Museum™ (USFHM) & World Food History Museum™ (WFHM) heralding Presidential Food Service, the slow food movement, major food manufacturers and their brands as well as the famous icons developed in America sold worldwide like the Baby Ruth candy bar, Heinz catsup, Coca-Cola, Reeses and so many more.

These are the private and public collections curated by Chef Martin CJ Mongiello - a former Executive Chef to the President of the United States of America, including exhibit items and artifacts sent by the National Archives and several Presidential Foundations. We are located in what is known as The White House, in the town named after the President, Grover, NC. Other collections from private foundations include the Miller, Griffith, Mancuso, Bush, Trump, Carter, Reagan, Clinton families, and libraries. Additionally, we showcase the US Navy, our own Presidential Food Service, and why the White House has two restaurants inside of it, staffed by Navy chefs, and how Captain Patrick J. Casey, USN, Ret. Commanding Officer of the USS Asheville and Vice Admiral Albert Konetzni, Jr., USN, Ret. sent chef Marti (our CEO) away to the White House Military Office (WHMO). Casey is featured in the Main Case of Glass #7 and Mirror, on floor one, since 2008 and listed in the Official Museum Directory in partnership with the American Association of Museums. The tour traverses two levels of the historic mansion. On some events, it may also include the grounds tour outside. Click here to sign up for our once a month newsletter.

New Jill and Joe Biden exhibit

(Grover, NC) "Our former White House Chef, Marti Mongiello just got off the phone with CNN International this weekend, and YES, it's true! President Biden LOVES ICE CREAM! states Antwain Thomas, Chief Development Officer at the US Presidential Culinary Museum. He is also a big fan of pasta and red sauce.

When it comes to Ice Cream, his favorite is from a fellow Chef, Jeni Britton Bauer! "Jeni owns Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream of Columbus, Ohio," states Thomas. Chef Marti has been fielding calls from colleagues across the world. "Everyone wants to call and then asks, so what's he eating?"

In 2016, Biden said, "I'm Joe Biden and I love ice cream!" He also loves a famous, "Bobbie," sandwich. The nationally acclaimed best-seller with homemade turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo in a hoagie roll from Capriotti's Sandwich Shop of Delaware!

"His favorite flavor is Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flakes!" mentions Thomas, who worked on the public education policy with the Obama Biden White House. "President Biden is like many of our modern Presidents when it comes to a treat now and then. Nixon loved a Carl's Jr. hamburger, Clinton enjoyed McDonald's and still eats burgers today with the new plant-based burgers, Trump loves Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Big Mac, so when we saw President Biden in a Dairy Queen turning a Blizzard upside down for the camera - we loved it!!!"

And check out Jill Biden's famous Parmesan Chicken recipe on our recipe page!

It seems then to unite the good qualities of both the others [white S. Carolina rice & brown Piedmont/Lombardy rice] known to us.
