Tafari Campbell — a former White House sous chef who later became the Obamas' personal chef — died on Monday in a paddle boarding accident near the Obamas' Katama estate in Martha's Vineyard.

From there, it became a team effort led by White House chefs Sam Kass and Tafari Campbell, who rolled up their sleeves and took on the role of brewers, despite having no prior brewing experience.
