Boulud got boxes of Presidential M&Ms, a coveted White House treat that are also included in Halloween gift bags for kids. The M&Ms are blue and white, and packed in a blue and white box that features the Presidential seal and Mr. Obama's autograph. They're in contrast to the heady dishes Boulud serves at his Upper East Side restaurant on Park Avenue and 65th St. Boulud was so excited he tweeted about the candy.

"@BarackObama Mr Prez it was an honor 4 me and my staff to cook for you @DANIEL_E65thNYC for the 3 rd time .thanks for the @whitehouse #m&ms," Boulud tweeted.
