- [Reporter] Pope Benedict the XVI made the final stops on his US tour today and it was an "only in New York" kind of occasion.

- When I got asked to cook for the Pope, that was a great honor.

This figure, especially if you are a Catholic, it's up the highest you can go close to God.

- I think cooking for the Popes was one of the highlights of her life.

I wouldn't even say career, I would say life.

She's a very spiritual person, so I think this was personal.

- It's like for her having dinner with Jimi Hendrix, Prince and Elvis Presley all at the same time.

(crowd cheering) - [Shelly] She took great care in thinking about the menus.

- And so when Pope Benedict came, I made goulash for him with smoked potatoes, very German, and sauerkraut and sour cream.

I said, you know, "How was everything?"

Can you imagine me asking the Pope, but I did.

You know?

Did you enjoy everything?

He said, (speaking Italian).

He said that there was some of the flavors of his mother.

The sauerkraut, the spaeztle, the goulash, all brought him home.

Being asked to cook for Pope Benedict was a surprise and an honor.

Seven years later, I was asked to cook for Pope Francis as well.

I could hardly believe it.

- To serve the leader of the Catholic Church in the world is once in a lifetime, but to do it twice, I don't know how more blessed we can be to do that.
