What are Military Chefs - Part 1

The Pressure Cooker

The duties of a military chef can be as varied as a menu, from serving up rations in the dining facility, to creating culinary works of art at international competitions.

@popeye1250 I'm sorry, I meant besides the initial training after bootcamp, does the CG & any other branches send & pay their cooks to a non-military cooking school??

The best chow I have had was prepared in the military. This was prior to contract providers like Aramark.

Combat cooks when I got out in 05 of the Corps were phasing out and starting bringing contract civilian cooks that sucked ass! I remember the cooks in pendleton were cool as hec.

Ran out of room. Based on my experience, the Air Force is the closest to gourmet cuisine and some bases have gone through a food transformation with Aramark. Army cuisine tends to be more simple and they rely mostly on premade food in the field, but some bases have good stuff. As for the Navy, well, let me put it this way, we had them visit our base and they loved our food much more than their standard galley.

I spent 22 years in the Air Force and 13 of those spent in food service, with a total of about 7 cooking. First, you are learning a lot about cooking depending on where you go, but it's all a matter of how much you put into it or want to. Second, the sad reality is that the restaurant industry is very tough outside and the majority of skilled cooks and chefs aren't making much more than minimum wage, even in nice restaurants. Best to work for the government or state as a cook, if you like it.

I hate it when people give the cooks crap. If there were no military cooks, you don't get to eat!
