Mess Hall: Impossible

For the past 250 years (Happy Birthday, Army!), one thing that's united soldiers is mess hall food, and feeding our Army is about to get the celebrity treatment. Chef Robert Irvine has been brought on as a consultant in conjunction with LTG Chris Mohan, Deputy Commanding General and Acting Commander of the U.S. Army Materiel Command. Together, they’re implementing bold new systems to provide viable, healthy and cost-efficient options for all of the Army’s installations. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with Chef Irvine and LTG Mohan to discuss what exactly they’ve got cooking in the Army’s kitchens, and how they’ve drawn inspiration from culinary TV shows as well as Columbia University. Plus, we’ll come up with the perfect cake to celebrate the Army’s birthday this month.
