The chef who was selected for the White House's Cinco de Mayo meal shared what he cooked for President Obama

While the internet was busy talking about Donald Trump's taco bowl, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were eating traditional Mexican food cooked by a chef from Texas.

For Obama's final Cinco de Mayo in the White House, San Antonio-based chef Johnny Hernandez took inspiration from Puebla, Mexico, where a smaller Mexican Army defeated an invading French army on May 5, 1862.

"I'm very excited to share the authenticity of Mexican cuisine with the White House and to bring the culture of San Antonio to a whole new place," he told the San Antonio Express-News.

Hernandez, a well-known local chef with several restaurants and a Top Chef judging appearance under his belt, told the paper he received a call from the White House social director a few weeks ago and began preparing.

Hernandez shared some photos of what ended up making his White House menu for Cinco de Mayo.
