The couple sat and soaked up the warm autumnal tones of Restaurant Eve for two hours before they thanked Armstrong upon their departure.

“They said they thoroughly enjoyed the meal and Michelle Obama asked if she could see my garden on another occasion,” he told the Irish Voice.

A father of two, Armstrong remains committed to maintaining culinary excellence in all areas of life and has founded Chefs as Parents.  He has worked alongside Michelle Obama on the initiative, a non-profit company that will partner with The Alexandria public school system to improving the school lunch system.  For his exhaustive efforts, the White House has honored him as a “Champion of Change.”

On Tuesday morning, Armstrong addressed the Senate Joint Committee on tourism where he said that where people eat on vacation is becoming just as important as the museums and historic sites they visit.
