 26 culinary specialists from around the fleet participated in the 40th annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event at Fort Lee, Virginia. The kitchen at the Fort Lee Fieldhouse was busy as military chefs from around the globe fought for bragging rights in multiple categories of the competition. I could get pretty crazy, a little nerve-wracking too, you got all these European master chefs watching your every move, sanitation could take you right out, so working on a clean station and putting out a good quality product is definitely something that's a big challenge to overcome here, but that's what we trained for. We've fared pretty well with the other services and we're hanging in there, we've got a pretty good medal count so far. This is an honor and a privilege and hopefully we can do the Navy proud.
