According to the United States Air Force Academy, Mitchell Hall is one of the world’s largest and most advanced dining facilities, capable of feeding 4,000 cadets in under 30 minutes and preparing 10,000 meals each day. Three days a week, cadets muster outside of the facility in formation and march in to eat a family-style lunch. Insider spent three days with members of Mitchell Hall’s staff, witnessing the large-scale coordination required to plan and prepare meals that sustain the cadet wing each day.

As amazing as it is. The sad part is how much of this food gets wasted and thrown away.
It’s a bunch of precooked crap! The food I eat in boot camp was always freshly cooked and not made in a factory then reheated! But there again I wasn’t in the Air Force either!
DAAAMNNNNNN EATING GOOOOOOD
If the military didn't force the shot on them they wouldn't b short staffed
The sewer must be running like a river there.
Honestly I am amazed at how skilled these chefs are to cook so much food so quickly
giving junk packaged food and feeding them over 3000+ calories of that is basically killing them
None of this food looked good, in my opinion.
Клевый ролик
Do they offer vegetarian options?
Is the steak still good after five hours of sitting in the oven?
burgers in boot camp? must be nice.
That one cadet resting his forearms on the table edge then bringing his mouth to food would never happen at the USNA. You always bring the food to your mouth, not dip your head and eat like an animal
Grunts in Army MRE and the inability to shit properly for weeks
Much more methodical than I expected.
All this work and energy for Israeli interests lol
In other words, they could feed a family of four in Wisconsin.
So this why US highschool kid gets sht food…
Thank you for this video
how come these cadets eat better the elementary school kids?????
my taxes
Insane! 😲Hats off to the Cooks & everyone in the team.
They are served Lobster! I think their food is better than West Point Cadets 😀
They can save millions of money by subsidizing their meals 👍
Chair force more like
Why did I sit here and watch this whole thing . I don’t even care about the military
i can watch these videos all day
Army Cook here…this is pretty standard for a large garrison setting. We have a similar, if not better garrison kitchen set up here in Indiana at Camp Atterbury. . . It’s when you go to the field, that’s when things get interesting lol
Anyone else notice the Bob Ross shrine in the office during the meal planning scene?
Am I the only one that realises the math don’t add up 😂
This kind of cooking has been done for millenniums. Think of all major armies through human history. This is not the first time.
That is honestly SO impressive and I hope they’re appreciated. Hard ass workers!
I would think on that scale it would be economical to make there own food, but because there short staffed thay cant
Stop calling these people a Chef fr fck sake they do nothin but cut open packed shit and trow it in automatic cookers etc .
i Would atleast make fresh chicken currys / fish currys evryday to keep people happy .
ok ok
