It was an ordinary day. Reading in my Balance Magazine about a fellow known as Chef John Moeller. He has had a culinary career that has brought him full circle. You may already know that he served as Head Chef in the White House, but his journey to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. actually started in his hometown of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he developed a passion for cooking. After graduating from Johnson and Wales College, he lived in France, where he studied the fundamentals of French cuisine under some of the finest French chefs, including 2-star Michelin Chef Bernard Loiseau. That experience in France opened unimaginable doors, including those of the White House. Chef John served President George H.W. Bush, President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush, from 1992 to 2005. You can read about those years and try some of the same recipes served to the First Families and their guests in Chef John's book, "Dining at the White House." Or, just like those famous First Families, you can let Chef John cook for you right here in Lancaster County. After leaving the White House, the Moeller's returned to John's hometown, where he wrote his book, started a catering business and traveled the U.S. serving charity dinners seasoned with anecdotes of his time in Washington, D.C. In 2018, he began a new culinary journey with the purchase of The Greenfield Restaurant & Bar and a beautifully restored 18th century stone farmhouse in the Greenfield Corporate Center. Chef John now manages the restaurant alongside his wife, Yeti Moeller, offering an upscale yet relaxed dining experience featuring locally sourced ingredients from a variety of Lancaster County vendors. The Greenfield Restaurant & Bar has a main dining room that seats 200, as well as bar seating. Now that summer has finally arrived, the Greenfield's outdoor patio will also be in full swing for al fresco dining. For private events, the restaurant offers three smaller dining rooms. The outdoor option and adjoining lounge are also available to rent for larger parties. For off-site events, Chef John also owns his own catering business: State of Affairs Catering. Although John is a busy man, you can almost always find him in the kitchen, doing what he loves most. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
