Great Chefs of the Marine Corps

[RAHiggins1]

It's dark. It's cold. Three hours will pass before the sun even thinks about rising. But it's time to get up, light the stoves and prepare the first of three meals this day. Work will not end until well after the evening meal when the kitchen is returned to it's pristine state for a repeat performance tomorrow.

Great Chefs of the Marine Corps: Serving up hot chow and morale. By Mary Karcher

Having served as a food service specialist in the Marines, this article brought that era back in vivid detail for me. My memories are nostalgia filled but I remember it was back breaking work with as long of hours as anyone else in the food industry.

I hope that the readers here will appreciate the hard work and dedication of the Marine Corps cook, they certainly deserve it.
