As Oprah's personal chef for 10 years, Rachael wants to know if there was ever anything Art Smith made for the big O that didn't go over quite so well. Art reveals, "No, she would just say, 'Honey, not so much food! You've got enough food to feed the whole entire city of Chicago!'"
As Rachael tries Art's [Biscuit Burgers](/food/recipes/art-smiths-cheddar-cheese-drop-biscuits/), he explains the message he's trying to spread through the organization he co-founded, Common Threads. "Food is this wonderful way to get to know each other," Art says. The mission of this program is to educate children on the importance of nutrition and physical well-being, and to foster an appreciation of cultural diversity through cooking.
