This March, Michelle Obama will be playing a supermarket owner on the new Netflix show Waffles and Mochi.
The show follows two best friends, Waffles and Mochi, who dream of becoming chefs.
The duo, and Mrs. Obama, is set to blast off on global ingredient missions, travelling to kitchens, restaurants, farms, and homes all over the world, cooking up recipes with everyday ingredients alongside renowned chefs, home cooks, kids, and celebrities.
