(In an interview)What’s your favorite dish to bring to a potluck?

Barack Obama: I’ve been using this chili recipe since college and would bring it to any potluck. I can’t reveal all the secrets, but if you make it right, it’s just got the right amount of bite, the right amount of oomph in it and it will clear your sinuses.
