"I have to say that for me, and everybody that I know, we're going to miss you deeply," Garten tells Obama in a clip from the special. "I know it's going to be wonderful for you. You're going to something extraordinary going forward."
"I'm going to come and eat at your house, so don't be surprised," Obama jokes.
"Good! I'm going to cook for you!" Garten excitedly replies. "I do hope you and the president are going on a really long, really romantic vacation."
"I'm counting on it too!" the first lady agrees. "Where is he? Get it planned!"
