Bill Clinton

42nd President of the United States

Hope & Little Rock, Arkansas

Bill Clinton grew up in Hope and Hot Springs, Arkansas, served as Governor of Arkansas, and was elected the 42nd President of the United States in 1992. Jim Quessenberry was a "ground floor" supporter — he cooked for Clinton's early political fundraisers back when Bill was still building his base in Arkansas.

Clinton's legendary appetite for good food was well-known. Jim feeding him at early fundraisers puts him in the same company as Mike Mills, who later cooked for Clinton at the height of his presidency.
