At this time of the year, with all of the votive candles lit and folks dressed to the nines leaning over tables for a cookie ? it's no wonder a fox stole became engulfed with flames and screaming to be ripped off of a visiting lady of prestige and splashed with a champagne urn of ice-cold water to put it out! Working with the past seven Presidents of the United States across a variety of matters, Master Chef Marti Mongiello documents this Top-Secret event in his rollicking video about fires at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKSdOA2RbNo for everyone to enjoy!
