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.
