@@cholesterol804 let's be realistic they ain't getting shot at in a long time and they won't be using there guns for now it's probably one of teh safest branches in the military being in teh navy for now ofc thr most dangerous is the army
that's why you gotta act like you cannot cook like you cannot even hold a knife properly in front of them. at least that's ho i'm imagine it goes down lol.
If anybody ever asks you on the street why military cooks are among the most respected members of of any military branch of service worldwide you show them this video, because this is exactly why they all deserve and get respect. Great video
they know that the meals might well be part of the soldiers/sailors day that isn't total shit, so they take a hell of a lot of pride in making sure those few minutes are as good as they can be. It's not just what the men and women deserve, it's also vital for morale. There are literally hundreds of battles, whole wars even, that were won and lost because one side ran out of food.
You get HUNGRY when outside and working hard. You don't fuck with those who feed you. I've never been in the military, but I sure as hell know I would love to secure myself some good chow and show appreciation to those responsible.
@@stevesmith1383. because the Air Force has so many more officers, with pilots, navigators weapons control officers, than the other branches, their food budget is so much more. As an Army sergeant, I was attached to the Air Force during Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. The truth is, the Army and Air Force buy their food from the same source, but the Air Force has so much more money to spend. Consider this: Unlike the Army and Marines, in the Air Force, the only ones who go out and fight every day, are the aircrews. They should at least eat well.
The cooks work their butts off. The time they put in each day to keep the system functioning far , far surpasses anything a civilian cook would be expected to do. I understood that and so always made it a point to praise the cooks as I went through a chow line.

I was a cook for 10 years in the Navy and first I want to say that it is unlikely you would see a master Chief or a First class working in the galley. The backbone of the galley is E5 or below. this is hard work and it takes a real toll on your body and mind.
@@Thunderstruk-fx6sh im an airman but let me say we love the people who serve us food. force support is the greatest squadron ever. everyone in the military respects you chefs so much. you can make a person have a better day after a long morning of work by having mac n cheese or something... you are life savors
I was in the USAF and meal time was always looked forward to! I had the option of going off base for fast food, but I always stayed on so I could hit the mess. They always customized my meals I was security police and sometimes I couldn't get a full meal time. We went to the front of the line due to mission requirements. I loved the food, it was always the best! My first Thanksgiving away from home, I was depressed, first stop in chow line wasn't the normal staff, I looked to see a full bird colonel serving me! The officers gave up their holiday to serve those who served them! It made my day! Thanks!
Having grown up in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights in Brooklyn, and being 18 years old when 9/11 happened then serving 11 years in the US Army following the tragedy, it warms my heart to see all of the different NYC memorabilia decorating USS New York. I especially loved seeing the ship enter NYC when it was below the Verrazzano Bridge where I used to bike and walk all the time when I was younger. Thank you all for your service.
I like this Master Chief for real! He is a TRUE leader! I was in the navy for 4 years, 2004 to 2008 and the food people joke about, but when I had a really bad day, I mean stuck up on the flight deck, cold, soak, wore out, smelling like jet fuel and covered in Chain grease, my one little moment I enjoyed every day was coming down to the mess deck and getting my Omelet and talking to the CS's, they were always good guys and girls. They work their asses off and they keep the force going! I went army after navy and it's true for the cooks in the army as well. Good job you all and Thank you Master Chief if you read this for being you! I hope you have a great retirement! and to all the CS's and cooks, you all rock! Thank you for trying to keep us motivated with your food! personally, if anyone reads this from CVN 75 Truman mess crew from 2004 to 2008, Thanks you all for cooking our food but also joking with us while you all cooked! You all rocked, made me feel like I was at home at a waffle house joking with you all!
That's what I keep trying to tell these people - the big ships got good food, because they had the room to store it. If you were on a tiny ship or a bubble head, then you probably did get dried food...
@@ExUSSailor That is interesting. How does that happen? Where do they put it? Maybe, they just have the best cooks in the Navy... Bubble heads do have to take care of each other for months away from home and the world at a time - they probably spent their off time looking for innovative ways to turn shit into Shine-ola. lol
@@barking.dog.productions1777 submarine storage rooms are huge, they have good food as the purpose of a sub is to be at sea for extremely long periods of time doing recon or sinking ships
@@kisaragi_san1378 I can see that. These whiners seem to expect champagne dinners... All of the food in the Navy was better than any school lunch that I ever ate, even in boot camp - which was the worst. I could go get a hot meal 24 hours a day on the ship. At 3 am you could get anything that you wanted, but usually a good omelette would hit the spot... always made fresh and served with a smile. Kudos to all of the Navy cooks out there... It was much appreciated. It made the difference between a foxhole and a floating home in a fire storm and when traversing hellish waters..
That's because when the towels come in we all hoard them for ourselves. At least 8 a day, then share till everyone's even. Towels? You brought rock star chef's clothes, and you didn't bring towels? GTFO!!!
Up at 5am, off at 8pm-ish...7 days a week unless in port. And then you got some cooks who have other positions on the ship, like submarine lookouts or helo deck firefighter crew, and stretcher-bearer teams. You'd be grateful for 5 hrs of sleep.
Sleepy? No, Drunk and hungover. That's what I was during the whole cruise, before and after. Our ship actually showed on CCTV how to deal with the Hookers in Port, how to and not to carry too much money, and the going rate. Subic actually gave health cards to these women, with picture so you knew who was clean. Guys would get too drunk and have all their clothes, everything stolen and walk back to base in sheets in the morning. Yes, shore patrol was looking for them! Then there was Phatayya Beach, that's another story...
M M you real mad huh? For one that’s an amphib, in terms of offensive it’s not that high and who the fuck is on that ship shooting people? Almost everyone on that ship like myself haven’t even touched a gun since boot camp and that was just for training.
Told my Dad I was joining up in the early 70’s. The only advice he gave was, “you can join the army or marine Corp and die in a dirty foxhole, or join the Navy and eat 3 square meals a day and sleep in a clean rack”. Needless to say I went Navy and glad I did.
@@afatty322 The sharper your knife is the more it's going to be cutting the onions instead of crushing them. Crushing the onion releases the strong chemical that goes into your eyes. I typically mostly use onions for caramelising so I might do about 10 cuts on each half of a medium sized onion with the root section facing away from me, then flip it 90 degrees and cut it another two times. What I'm trying to say is that I cut the onion alot but because knife is sharp there is no crying... good stuff.
@@febr21 The ketchup and mustard makes some sense... a lot of folks make that with hot dogs/burgers/BBQ but the maple syrup was confusing... why not just add sugar?
My Dad was Ships Cook 1c on a light cruiser (10,000tons, 1200 men) during WWII. They took pride in their Boston Baked Beans. It was bacon, onions, beans, molasses, brown sugar, mustard powder, and tomato paste. As the beans cooked, the would not be stirred to avoid baking them. They were not salted in the pan to avoid making the hulls tough. They would use a gallon can and drain liquid from the bottom-pour spot on the kettle, and pour the juice over the top to baste them every 15 or 20 minutes. Could substitute the Mustard powder and tomato paste with ketchup and salad mustard in a pinch? I suppose, maybe...in a pinch... but you are then adding a dose of vinegar from those products, so I guess you could expect a certain tanginess to the end product. Maybe that's why they're "Italian" baked beans, and opposed to good old Boston or Southern style beans?
the quick camera shot of Frank's face after they emptied 2 bottles each of yellow mustard and tomato ketchup into it.... he was thinking "please may my ancestors forgive me" hahaha
My cousin is a cook on the USS John McCain - for breakfast on their ship you can get your eggs & toast how you specifically want them only from 5-6am. After that you get what they're serving.
@@sirmi9868 Im with Sirmi98 on this one. They can also get you in to see some cool shit sometimes, and even fire some weapons you might not get the chance to ever touch!
Oh hell yeas! The Army cooks that seasoned the food........greatness in action! I had the (rare- since I was always in the field) luck to have an outstanding Mess Sergeant in the Alpha Company 4/325th, 82 ABN who ran a tight, delicious squared away mess hall. Big airborne salute to you, whomever you are.
From what my buddy told me when he was in the Air Force, the food in the military is insanely good. He described his meals as though he was eating at a five star hotel or a better version of Texas Roadhouse. He also said that without the amazing cooks and food, morale would drop through the roof and people would be absolutely miserable.
Your buddy is lyingggggg the food at your average Dining Facility is consistently unseasoned under/over cooked. At best I've heard from some people that they have surf and turf at some 'deployment' dining facilities. The cooks aren't great if their military themselves, but the contracted workers usually are a lot better.
Air Force doesn't play on the same level as everyone else. They are the spoiled youngest child of the branches and get the highest budget to afford good shit.
I worked in the chiefs mess as a LCpl. It was the first time I ever saw meat marked "Grade 'C' Beef" "for prison or military use only" Did you know they made that?? Our USMC chef actually made it taste good. Semper Fi 1995 - 2015
My dad told me that in prison the boxes would say “Not Intended for Human Consumption”. There was no way to make the food really taste that good. I couldn’t imagine eating that garbage.
My dad was a Navy cook 2nd class in WWII, was at Okinawa from day 1 at a civilian internment camp, 10th Division Military Government 51st Portable Field Hospital. He was in three campaigns in the Pacific and he did cook us kids some weird stuff now and then. Six kids who mostly ate what ever he and my mother made. Sadly he passed in January of this year.
Did 3 years as a ranger in the swedish army. We didn’t have that many days per year were we would get hot food indoor, but I DO remember the few meals we got to have at a table, MAN that was like dining at a 5 star restaurant for us!! We all made sure to thank the staff in the kitchen every time and gave them our blessing. Eating outdoors is more a thing about getting as manu calories as you can in 24 hours….staying hydrated and warm. The last 12 months I was stationed in Bosnia at war time as a squad leader for a scout patrol team. Same here, EVERY time we got ta have a hot meal, bless the kitchen staff and show your respect! To them it’s work as usual, for some of us it was heaven…keep it up :)
When I was a Cub Scout we slept on the USS NJ, went through all the routines, then served 200+ people breakfast. Mind you, I was like 9 or 10 lmao. It was an incredible experience, I still can’t believe we got to sleep on the ship. Way cool
The best advice I was given was when I served on the USS Shenandoah (AD-26). The Master Chief Petty Officer in charge of the Food Service Division told me to, "Never piss off the cook". Good advice in all aspects of life.
I spent 3 months as a food service assistant on the USS Gravely back in 2015. Most people on the ship regardless of your job will rotate through and help out at some point. Anyways, it Was actually a great experience to do that. I did well so they sent me up to the Officers Wardroom kitchen. Got special privileges to cook my own food, special cakes/cookies. Better food kind of overall actually. Plus they had Dunken Donuts coffee up there as the regular crew had Maxwell house. Awesome 3 months.
WHEN YOU ARE THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK YOU WILL IN TIME DO YOUR SHARE IN THE MESS LINE OR SCULLERY DETAIL ON SHIPS. FORMER US NAVY VET 1971N RADIOMAN 3RD I DID AND SO DID MANY OTHER I LIKED THE CHIEFS MESS BETTER NO WATCHES, WORK PARTYS AND OFF ON WEEKEND S TOO. IT ALSO APPLIED TO ALL MESS DETAILS.
Served 26 years in the Navy and retired in 2016 as a Senior Chief. When I joined in 1990, our Culinary Specialists (CS's) were still known as Mess Specialists (MS's). Over the years there are a few groups of Sailors you always treat right and don't piss off - your medical staff, your pay staff, your IT staff and your food staff. Breakfast was ALWAYS the best meal of the day in the Navy and one I still miss to this day. Can't count the number of meals I ate over the years onboard ship or on base. It is amazing the great food that can be prepared for our Sailors with a limited budget, storage area and personnel. I can't remember a single day in my career that I ever went hungry or didn't get a meal. If you are impressed with The USS New York, you should try getting onboard an aircraft carrier and see the lengths those cooks go through to pump out 15-20 thousand meals, EVERY DAY! Simply amazing.
I'm happy to see they get some good looking meals! Lots of respect and appreciation for the cooks that work long hard hours to get everyone fed! Everyone there thank you for your service 🙏
They did, there was a reddit thread about military people and documentaries made at their job and someone that was in this said he was about to flip his crap
Vet here. If they did they shouldn't. The bigger picture here is that videos like this is an important recruitment tool and it keeps the nation's appreciation and support of our forces. Those in charge should perhaps have briefed them better. Yes, the video crew might get in your way of doing your job and they are after all civvies, but they are here to do you the service of telling your nation what you do. Warriors in conflict and gentlemen in peace. That's the code.
Being a cook is definitely not an easy job at all big respect to all the cooks In the military work long hours with little sleep day in and day out their job gets over looked but it’s very demanding and deserves respect
One of the most if not the MOST important part of the military. I fixed Hornet and Harrier electronics in the Corps’. What made my day? Chow call. These guys and gals are simply fantastic. They do the impossible and make it work like clockwork. EVERY TIME. RESPECT!!
As an Army Infantry guy....we always take care of our cooks...make sure they have everything they need. I'd say they don't work very hard but they work long hours which makes the job hard. Thanks for all you do in feeding the machine.
Never had a decent meal the whole time I was in the Army. It seemed like every other branch had better food. Best military food I ever had was at the Australian chow hall in Tirin Kot in Afghanistan.
The USS San Jacinto CG-56 had the best mess, of course I went FSA duty twice. It's amazing experience. Gunner's Mate 2nd Class. Thank you for your service.
As an Army Veteran seeing you on the Naval Ship seeing the culinary aspect pretty cool. Some of the best meals I had was going to the mess hall in Germany after spending a time in Vietnam. Thanks for appreciating Veterans.
I was in the Navy, I lived for the chow line at sea!!!!! Away from the U.S. for six months at a time on Med runs. The food is everything! But don’t let the camera fool you, insult the kitchen cook or make a joke in line about the food. See what that gets you. Total regret! 🤨Ok!!!!😜
I am so glad they still do fleet week. I remember watching a movie with Frank Sinatra from the 1940s about fleet week. Total respect for our navy. And all our military.
I was a Mess Management Specialist in the Navy. It wasn’t a bad job. I liked it. 😃 I worked at the Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego and the USS Dixon and the USS Ajax.
@@pettadonato9391 fine work. i have one bro who was a Seahawk pilot in the desert storm era and another who was DC aboard the kitty hawk 92-97. I'm Navy blue 364 days a year, but always back Army in the game hope that doesn't make me a heathen. cheers mate!
I was on a submarine and as a Navy Nuke every Saturday was Pizza night. Awesome and they let us Nukes help to make the pizza. The biggest pride the cooks had was putting on a special meal while were underway during Thanksgiving and Christmas. They really shined. The turkey diners were excellent. And yes the cooks worked their asses off, and the seamen who assisted them were constantly doing dishes. I could never do it standing on my feet all day long. Thank you for your dedication to the food service division and the job you did. You were the moral booster and allowed everyone to come together and enjoy the food you prepared while underwater for 70 days at a time.
@meltdownman1 I wished I served on a submarine. I was a CSA on the Nimitz...I enjoyed assisting the CS in the galley. Yeah, I loved chow on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Navy birthday. Also, the CS's arranged steel beach picnic...all those holidays were some of my favorite memories in the Navy.🇺🇲
Respect for you, serving on a 3 different ships in my former life, the last one was a cook in the Coast Guard. You see life through food. Your day consists of food already but when you start your career on the other side of the line, and then experience it later on the inside of that line serving food you respect how it is done. One of the many things you miss and don't miss at the same time as a Veteran.
I was a firefighter for 23 years, and have now been in healthcare for 5 years. I legit have saved lives, but I gotta say THANK YOU to everyone who serves in the military, and everyone who works to feed the 8 billion people on this world. Whether you’re on a farm, in processing or transport, preparation, line cook, or server. You all work your butts off, and I respect that!
What I love about Frank is that he is not a pretensious a hole that a lot of "celebrity" chefs are. If anyone could carry on Anthony Bourdain's legacy it would be Frank. He looks at food and cooking the same Bourdain did: a way to connect with people. Need more of Frank and in longer segments.
When he started working on the beans he was horrified with everything that was going into it 😂😂 His whole demeanor and word choice was very concentrated, making sure he don’t say the wrong thing 😆💯 Anyone else noticed that?
A proper chef eating the stuff any navy guy eats on the daily would be hilarious. "Wait... you're going to eat THAT?!?!" Answer: "Yes because I'm hungry and I have patrol/watch/maintenance/anything in 30 minutes."
I miss eating at the galley, food was pretty good actually lol. I’m a military brat, so seeing all this hard work, nothing but respect for my brother and sister in arms.
Being a former Paratrooper, the food in this video looked amazingly good and well prepared. I was always told, if you want good food in the military join the Navy. But kudos to all these amazing men and women and the long hours of work they put in for this country. The interview with the 18 year old proves what character building the military can do. Long hours of hard work, little or no recognition. I have a lot of respect for all of them. Good job Navy.
hey that is just deepens on what ship you on cuz different ships are different cooks that some ships have really good food and some have not terrible food but it feeds you and some are average like not be consistent in portions foods and is could be on average that some days are good and some days are meh its like that and oh there were few occasion that the food was not good that was just on that one ship i been on and that was my first ship i been on
Then you got lucky. At the end of the day they have to work with what's there, but if the Kitchen staff is not passionate about their business, it can bring down the mood of almost the entire Crew pretty quick. Sucks if you work all day and then even have to dread the food you get.
Thank you for sharing this. The food looks good!!! I have two grandsons who are entering the Navy. I told them both, learn to work in a kitchen and to cook!!! Valuable life skills to know!!!!
I did not see a single "soldiers" on that ship. Let me teach you Military 101. Army : Soldier Marines : Marines Navy : Sailer Air force : Airman Coast Guard : Coast Guardsman You never call a Marine a soldier and vice versa.
I really enjoyed watching this. I didn't realize the cooks work 16 hours a day! I LOVED frank's pizza show so I'm glad to see there's another series goin!
At sea, mostly everyone is working 16hrs a day unless you got a cushy job or you're a chief! If you really fucked up and became a nuke or shit, you work 16hrs whether you're at sea or in port.
Yea night crew works an extra hour because they have to do cleaning stations(ours was 730-830).. Regular jobs 12-14hr shift...anything longer than that was Nuke,Boatswain Mate, ABE territory.
What you experienced and what you saw, the teamwork, the dedication, the diversity, the education and the maturity of these young men and women is why I think every young person in the US should spend at least 2 years in military service. We have a great nation and so much potential in our young people. The military can and does bring out the best in both.
I DID MY NINETY DAYS OF MESS CRANKING IN THE DISH PIT!!! WORKED US LIKE DOGS BUT WE STILL HAD FUN! THEN I WENT BACK TO DECK DIVISION, BUSTIN RUST!!!! 1986-1990. 🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET!!!!!!
Just wanted to say the Navy cooks are awesome in this video! Keeping the Seamen and Marines fed and happy is one of the most important jobs in military! Thank you for your service to our country!
9:59 hit close to home. I see that no matter what kind of kitchen and where, the almighty side towel still reigns supreme. The side towel is everything.
I’ve been in the navy for 13 years and never been on a ship. I think that manning the rails in New York and Pearl Harbor is one of the most incredible things for a person to be a part of. Hopefully, before I checkout, I can somehow be a part of it.
My dad was a navy cook during Vietnam. He joined because he was told he could have all the milk he could ever want. His arms were covered in scars from trays of bacon grease splashing him and pans burning him. He refused to ever cook again except maybe once a year he'd make a giant pot of oatmeal. He never did learn how to scale the portion size down.
batt3ryac1d ha, no. He was born to a single mother in the fifties who couldn’t afford to feed multiple children much, especially not ones that were 6’8”. He was just always hungry and his brother (who is 6’5”) told him that he could eat as much as he wanted and drink as much milk as he wanted if he joined the navy.
I've been on some pretty nasty assignments where I had to eat in every branch of the military's chow halls and all I can say is Navy chow is the best for sure.
When he compared the rack to a coffin, I was like exactly, my older sister is a sailor and she says her rack is a coffin, they call them coffins racks.😂
They are called coffin racks because of the way they open. They lift up like a coffin lid and that is your storage space... trust me, it ain’t much. Oh, and he is on a “Gator Freighter” and they typically have the best berthing of all main line ships.

Lol he looked disgusted that he would ask him such a thing😂
Love the Navy, built ships for them for over 36 years.
What part of the ships did you build? And how long do you guys work per day? I’m really interested
You sound very interesting. Never met a person with this particular job.
Tristan they’re hiring
thanks larry!
dam u must be rich how can i learn to build ships? Do i go to college
Having grown up in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights in Brooklyn, and being 18 years old when 9/11 happened then serving 11 years in the US Army following the tragedy, it warms my heart to see all of the different NYC memorabilia decorating USS New York. I especially loved seeing the ship enter NYC when it was below the Verrazzano Bridge where I used to bike and walk all the time when I was younger. Thank you all for your service.
Navy lunch: fresh eggs and roast beef
School lunch: cheese sandwich with chocolate milk
If the Department of Education had $680 billion instead of $68 billion, then maybe the kids could have a good meal.
Kyle Laurent yeah but that only for 1 meal gtfo
Bring your own damn lunch man. Plus the military are essentially athletes they need to eat right to perform their job correctly.

I like this Master Chief for real! He is a TRUE leader! I was in the navy for 4 years, 2004 to 2008 and the food people joke about, but when I had a really bad day, I mean stuck up on the flight deck, cold, soak, wore out, smelling like jet fuel and covered in Chain grease, my one little moment I enjoyed every day was coming down to the mess deck and getting my Omelet and talking to the CS's, they were always good guys and girls. They work their asses off and they keep the force going! I went army after navy and it's true for the cooks in the army as well. Good job you all and Thank you Master Chief if you read this for being you! I hope you have a great retirement! and to all the CS's and cooks, you all rock! Thank you for trying to keep us motivated with your food! personally, if anyone reads this from CVN 75 Truman mess crew from 2004 to 2008, Thanks you all for cooking our food but also joking with us while you all cooked! You all rocked, made me feel like I was at home at a waffle house joking with you all!
That's what I keep trying to tell these people - the big ships got good food, because they had the room to store it. If you were on a tiny ship or a bubble head, then you probably did get dried food...
@@barking.dog.productions1777 Subs actually have the BEST food in the Navy.
@@ExUSSailor That is interesting. How does that happen? Where do they put it? Maybe, they just have the best cooks in the Navy... Bubble heads do have to take care of each other for months away from home and the world at a time - they probably spent their off time looking for innovative ways to turn shit into Shine-ola. lol
@@barking.dog.productions1777 submarine storage rooms are huge, they have good food as the purpose of a sub is to be at sea for extremely long periods of time doing recon or sinking ships
@@kisaragi_san1378 I can see that. These whiners seem to expect champagne dinners... All of the food in the Navy was better than any school lunch that I ever ate, even in boot camp - which was the worst.
I could go get a hot meal 24 hours a day on the ship. At 3 am you could get anything that you wanted, but usually a good omelette would hit the spot... always made fresh and served with a smile.
Kudos to all of the Navy cooks out there... It was much appreciated. It made the difference between a foxhole and a floating home in a fire storm and when traversing hellish waters..
I don’t think Marines sleep. If they do, they do it while cooking breakfast apparently.
JimboLogic pretty sure they have shifts
Really? You don't think all the female sailors look at the pimply 18 year old and think "no thanks" ?
B Basen we are good at breaking shit and fucking. That’s where we specialize 😂
You are 100% wrong. I was on this ship for 5 yrs and if they not doing mess duty they either Workout,Eat, or shit. That's all they do lmao.
They looked hella done when he was asking for that clean towel 😭😂
They were like. Towel?? Bruh. Gtfo!
That's because when the towels come in we all hoard them for ourselves. At least 8 a day, then share till everyone's even. Towels? You brought rock star chef's clothes, and you didn't bring towels? GTFO!!!
Interrupting the breakfast service for tea towels, insane.

@@markcollins2666shut up you child killer
You can tell some of them are really out of it and sleepy. Pure respect for these men and women🇺🇸
Up at 5am, off at 8pm-ish...7 days a week unless in port. And then you got some cooks who have other positions on the ship, like submarine lookouts or helo deck firefighter crew, and stretcher-bearer teams. You'd be grateful for 5 hrs of sleep.
Merica!
Sleepy? No, Drunk and hungover. That's what I was during the whole cruise, before and after. Our ship actually showed on CCTV how to deal with the Hookers in Port, how to and not to carry too much money, and the going rate. Subic actually gave health cards to these women, with picture so you knew who was clean. Guys would get too drunk and have all their clothes, everything stolen and walk back to base in sheets in the morning. Yes, shore patrol was looking for them! Then there was Phatayya Beach, that's another story...
I'm currently a cook on a smaller ship (destoyer) and I can say that we are ALWAYS borderline exhausted at any given time
M M you real mad huh? For one that’s an amphib, in terms of offensive it’s not that high and who the fuck is on that ship shooting people? Almost everyone on that ship like myself haven’t even touched a gun since boot camp and that was just for training.

Told my Dad I was joining up in the early 70’s. The only advice he gave was, “you can join the army or marine Corp and die in a dirty foxhole, or join the Navy and eat 3 square meals a day and sleep in a clean rack”. Needless to say I went Navy and glad I did.
"No onions and no cheese"
"Right so thats everything"
"Everything without onions and cheese"
I love onions, I just hate cutting them......
@Zach Arbogast this helps thanks!
I think Frank was a little dazed from no sleep haha
@@afatty322 The sharper your knife is the more it's going to be cutting the onions instead of crushing them. Crushing the onion releases the strong chemical that goes into your eyes. I typically mostly use onions for caramelising so I might do about 10 cuts on each half of a medium sized onion with the root section facing away from me, then flip it 90 degrees and cut it another two times. What I'm trying to say is that I cut the onion alot but because knife is sharp there is no crying... good stuff.
on the bong a drugo u were born under that bridge
His face when making those beans though. You could tell Frank wasn't into that condiment soup.
Beans with tomato sauce mustard and imitation maple syrup. What the?
The Navy usually has good food, but those beans were iffy
Looks like something you would make one night after drinking until 2am .

I could tell Frank was not feeling those "Italian baked beans" 😅
Ms. Tia Daniel church
Cpl Briggs was like "u talking shit about my beans ni66a"
Sure it wansnt battalion baked beans?
My Dad was Ships Cook 1c on a light cruiser (10,000tons, 1200 men) during WWII. They took pride in their Boston Baked Beans. It was bacon, onions, beans, molasses, brown sugar, mustard powder, and tomato paste.
As the beans cooked, the would not be stirred to avoid baking them. They were not salted in the pan to avoid making the hulls tough. They would use a gallon can and drain liquid from the bottom-pour spot on the kettle, and pour the juice over the top to baste them every 15 or 20 minutes.
Could substitute the Mustard powder and tomato paste with ketchup and salad mustard in a pinch? I suppose, maybe...in a pinch... but you are then adding a dose of vinegar from those products, so I guess you could expect a certain tanginess to the end product. Maybe that's why they're "Italian" baked beans, and opposed to good old Boston or Southern style beans?
the quick camera shot of Frank's face after they emptied 2 bottles each of yellow mustard and tomato ketchup into it....
he was thinking "please may my ancestors forgive me" hahaha
Damn cook to order eggs for everyone in the ship? That's very hard.
Exactly what i was thinking. Damn...
I wanna see food of train
I work at a hotel and usually get 120covers lowend ... Fuck that!!!!!
Its usually a separate line for that, they have mass produced scrambled eggs

This was my mom's life before she passed away. Cooking on the gigantic USS Kitty Hawk for hundreds of hungry sailors.
You’re being humble. That ship had like 5k people on it when it was in service! Thankful for her service and may she rest easy 🖤

Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
respect for your mom bro uss kitty hawk has a thousand of sailors onboard. cant even imagine cooking for that many sailors.

Make friends with the cooks. Especially when you go to the DFAC at deployed locations. They had cheesecake in the back and no one knew lol
And every Chef/cook knows to make friends with maintenance 👌
I would say make friends i special ops since they have unlimited budget for food,stakes every day if u want
I love cheesecake!
Hot wings, chips on demand, lumpia, ice cream and custom made sandwiches. Lots more than just cheesecake, but yeah it was an inside secret.

Shout out to all my military cooks that put seasoning in their food... For my Air Force peeps you know it was grill cheese and Jesus on Sundays lol.
210dboi 😂🙏🏽
Grill cheese on Sunday is heaven. I’m not Military. I spoke out because you said Grilled cheese.
Oh hell yeas! The Army cooks that seasoned the food........greatness in action! I had the (rare- since I was always in the field) luck to have an outstanding Mess Sergeant in the Alpha Company 4/325th, 82 ABN who ran a tight, delicious squared away mess hall. Big airborne salute to you, whomever you are.
Haha true
Lmfao, used to roam squadrons for those sandwiches in Jesus name “320 cant stop the rock”
From what my buddy told me when he was in the Air Force, the food in the military is insanely good. He described his meals as though he was eating at a five star hotel or a better version of Texas Roadhouse. He also said that without the amazing cooks and food, morale would drop through the roof and people would be absolutely miserable.
Your buddy is lyingggggg the food at your average Dining Facility is consistently unseasoned under/over cooked. At best I've heard from some people that they have surf and turf at some 'deployment' dining facilities. The cooks aren't great if their military themselves, but the contracted workers usually are a lot better.
Five star hotel🤣 stop tha 🧢
Air Force doesn't play on the same level as everyone else. They are the spoiled youngest child of the branches and get the highest budget to afford good shit.
You haven't eaten on a Submarine. They are the best of the best. God Bless Submariners. @@ethanleever9187

I like the sea very Goldilocks. Just right.
Just like momma used to make only she didn't shit in hers.
My dad told me that in prison the boxes would say “Not Intended for Human Consumption”. There was no way to make the food really taste that good. I couldn’t imagine eating that garbage.
When you have to worry is when the label says, "Do NOT feed to pets!"
Franky is so genuine in everything he does, he truly fits that "take pride in what you do", regardless of setting.
My dad was a Navy cook 2nd class in WWII, was at Okinawa from day 1 at a civilian internment camp, 10th Division Military Government 51st Portable Field Hospital. He was in three campaigns in the Pacific and he did cook us kids some weird stuff now and then. Six kids who mostly ate what ever he and my mother made. Sadly he passed in January of this year.
Thats a really cool story, Rest In Peace to you dad.
Sorry for ypur lost♥️
Rest In Piece. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your fathers passing know we have the watch now!
William Andritsch sorry for your loss
Did 3 years as a ranger in the swedish army. We didn’t have that many days per year were we would get hot food indoor, but I DO remember the few meals we got to have at a table, MAN that was like dining at a 5 star restaurant for us!! We all made sure to thank the staff in the kitchen every time and gave them our blessing. Eating outdoors is more a thing about getting as manu calories as you can in 24 hours….staying hydrated and warm. The last 12 months I was stationed in Bosnia at war time as a squad leader for a scout patrol team. Same here, EVERY time we got ta have a hot meal, bless the kitchen staff and show your respect! To them it’s work as usual, for some of us it was heaven…keep it up :)
When I was a Cub Scout we slept on the USS NJ, went through all the routines, then served 200+ people breakfast. Mind you, I was like 9 or 10 lmao. It was an incredible experience, I still can’t believe we got to sleep on the ship. Way cool
The best advice I was given was when I served on the USS Shenandoah (AD-26). The Master Chief Petty Officer in charge of the Food Service Division told me to, "Never piss off the cook". Good advice in all aspects of life.
10/10 students say the food looks more appetizing than school food
Yeah I expected this video to be full of shitty food but it actually looks nicer than anything they ever served at my school.
Thanks to Michael Obummer...
@@Gubers lucky. I never had anything this nice at any school I've been to.
Why would you/students compare this with school food in the first place? You think Navy learn in that ship and go home eating dinner with family?
Thay are some of the most important people they should eat the very best
I spent 3 months as a food service assistant on the USS Gravely back in 2015. Most people on the ship regardless of your job will rotate through and help out at some point. Anyways, it Was actually a great experience to do that. I did well so they sent me up to the Officers Wardroom kitchen. Got special privileges to cook my own food, special cakes/cookies. Better food kind of overall actually. Plus they had Dunken Donuts coffee up there as the regular crew had Maxwell house. Awesome 3 months.
WHEN YOU ARE THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK YOU WILL IN TIME DO YOUR SHARE IN THE MESS LINE OR SCULLERY DETAIL ON SHIPS. FORMER US NAVY VET 1971N RADIOMAN 3RD I DID AND SO DID MANY OTHER I LIKED THE CHIEFS MESS BETTER NO WATCHES, WORK PARTYS AND OFF ON WEEKEND S TOO. IT ALSO APPLIED TO ALL MESS DETAILS.
Submarines do the same thing 1 tour of crank duty. Gives them respect on those who serve you later.
"Skyline Cafe"
That was both beautiful and rather sad at the same time
That classic line "Watch out real quick." The classic line to the newbie in the kitchen slowing things down.
Served 26 years in the Navy and retired in 2016 as a Senior Chief. When I joined in 1990, our Culinary Specialists (CS's) were still known as Mess Specialists (MS's). Over the years there are a few groups of Sailors you always treat right and don't piss off - your medical staff, your pay staff, your IT staff and your food staff.
Breakfast was ALWAYS the best meal of the day in the Navy and one I still miss to this day. Can't count the number of meals I ate over the years onboard ship or on base. It is amazing the great food that can be prepared for our Sailors with a limited budget, storage area and personnel. I can't remember a single day in my career that I ever went hungry or didn't get a meal.
If you are impressed with The USS New York, you should try getting onboard an aircraft carrier and see the lengths those cooks go through to pump out 15-20 thousand meals, EVERY DAY! Simply amazing.
I agree front of the line privileges are great. And as a retired SC myself our own table and lounge. And we didn't eat with plastic utensils BTW.
I'm happy to see they get some good looking meals! Lots of respect and appreciation for the cooks that work long hard hours to get everyone fed! Everyone there thank you for your service 🙏
These sailors and Marines look like they want to throw him overboard the entire video...

@@Paul-xk5wg I don't blame them lol. The part where he's running around looking for a towel while people are waiting to order made me cringe!
Vet here. If they did they shouldn't. The bigger picture here is that videos like this is an important recruitment tool and it keeps the nation's appreciation and support of our forces. Those in charge should perhaps have briefed them better. Yes, the video crew might get in your way of doing your job and they are after all civvies, but they are here to do you the service of telling your nation what you do. Warriors in conflict and gentlemen in peace. That's the code.

@@Paul-xk5wg Fair. Though if you have problem with someone sticking a camera to your face, what happens when an enemy sticks a weapon to your face?

Being a cook is definitely not an easy job at all big respect to all the cooks In the military work long hours with little sleep day in and day out their job gets over looked but it’s very demanding and deserves respect
One of the most if not the MOST important part of the military. I fixed Hornet and Harrier electronics in the Corps’. What made my day? Chow call. These guys and gals are simply fantastic. They do the impossible and make it work like clockwork. EVERY TIME. RESPECT!!
As an Army Infantry guy....we always take care of our cooks...make sure they have everything they need. I'd say they don't work very hard but they work long hours which makes the job hard. Thanks for all you do in feeding the machine.
Never had a decent meal the whole time I was in the Army. It seemed like every other branch had better food. Best military food I ever had was at the Australian chow hall in Tirin Kot in Afghanistan.

Great episode, I love seeing these kinds of videos where people see how the service works out in ways like this!
I was in the Navy, I lived for the chow line at sea!!!!! Away from the U.S. for six months at a time on Med runs. The food is everything! But don’t let the camera fool you, insult the kitchen cook or make a joke in line about the food. See what that gets you. Total regret! 🤨Ok!!!!😜

I was on a submarine and as a Navy Nuke every Saturday was Pizza night. Awesome and they let us Nukes help to make the pizza. The biggest pride the cooks had was putting on a special meal while were underway during Thanksgiving and Christmas. They really shined. The turkey diners were excellent. And yes the cooks worked their asses off, and the seamen who assisted them were constantly doing dishes. I could never do it standing on my feet all day long. Thank you for your dedication to the food service division and the job you did. You were the moral booster and allowed everyone to come together and enjoy the food you prepared while underwater for 70 days at a time.
@meltdownman1 I wished I served on a submarine. I was a CSA on the Nimitz...I enjoyed assisting the CS in the galley. Yeah, I loved chow on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Navy birthday. Also, the CS's arranged steel beach picnic...all those holidays were some of my favorite memories in the Navy.🇺🇲
Fridays were burger days after field day. And Sunday was surf and turf. Great Food. God Bless Submariners even if you are a "forward puke".
Respect for you, serving on a 3 different ships in my former life, the last one was a cook in the Coast Guard. You see life through food. Your day consists of food already but when you start your career on the other side of the line, and then experience it later on the inside of that line serving food you respect how it is done. One of the many things you miss and don't miss at the same time as a Veteran.
The Coast Guard Academy has great food. And I'm a Submariner. Worked across the river at the Nautilus Museum. God Bless Submariners.

What I love about Frank is that he is not a pretensious a hole that a lot of "celebrity" chefs are. If anyone could carry on Anthony Bourdain's legacy it would be Frank. He looks at food and cooking the same Bourdain did: a way to connect with people. Need more of Frank and in longer segments.
He absolutely is, he just surpresses it (which can sometimes be noticed)
You're talking about Gordon Ramsey...😅
I was just thinking the same thing. Him and Brad Leone.

Answer: "Yes because I'm hungry and I have patrol/watch/maintenance/anything in 30 minutes."

But kudos to all these amazing men and women and the long hours of work they put in for this country. The interview with the 18 year old proves what character building the military can do. Long hours of hard work, little or no recognition. I have a lot of respect for all of them. Good job Navy.
The Navy likes to serve food that literally says on the box not fit for human consumption
hey that is just deepens on what ship you on cuz different ships are different cooks that some ships have really good food and some have not terrible food but it feeds you and some are average like not be consistent in portions foods and is could be on average that some days are good and some days are meh its like that and oh there were few occasion that the food was not good that was just on that one ship i been on and that was my first ship i been on
@@davidfaxon3336 you mean that is on MREs
Our Mess Chief cared. We always ate good. Only had one bad food-thing in the Navy, and that was a piece of undercooked chicken.
Then you got lucky.
At the end of the day they have to work with what's there, but if the Kitchen staff is not passionate about their business, it can bring down the mood of almost the entire Crew pretty quick. Sucks if you work all day and then even have to dread the food you get.

Now you know where Friendly Fire comes from. Take it Deep.
I really enjoyed watching this. I didn't realize the cooks work 16 hours a day! I LOVED frank's pizza show so I'm glad to see there's another series goin!
At sea, mostly everyone is working 16hrs a day unless you got a cushy job or you're a chief! If you really fucked up and became a nuke or shit, you work 16hrs whether you're at sea or in port.
Even on land, you work 12-18 hour days for a couple weeks straight. Fun stuff.
Yea night crew works an extra hour because they have to do cleaning stations(ours was 730-830)..
Regular jobs 12-14hr shift...anything longer than that was Nuke,Boatswain Mate, ABE territory.
What you experienced and what you saw, the teamwork, the dedication, the diversity, the education and the maturity of these young men and women is why I think every young person in the US should spend at least 2 years in military service. We have a great nation and so much potential in our young people. The military can and does bring out the best in both.

I DID MY NINETY DAYS OF MESS CRANKING IN THE DISH PIT!!! WORKED US LIKE DOGS BUT WE STILL HAD FUN! THEN I WENT BACK TO DECK DIVISION, BUSTIN RUST!!!! 1986-1990. 🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET!!!!!!

Cooks in general have a tough job but a military cook is at an entirely different level.
@@helpraznidentitystopanti-a3946 its not that bad
Just wanted to say the Navy cooks are awesome in this video! Keeping the Seamen and Marines fed and happy is one of the most important jobs in military! Thank you for your service to our country!
I was in the Marines, I appreciate those chow dogs especially when I was on a ship. Thanks for sharing this post
Master Chief Paje was my "A" School instructor back in 1993. He was laid back even then as a Second Class PO.
A Filipino? If so a long line of Filipino Mafia Stewards continues.
Being in that line is better than being a homeless.
i was stationed in the ship when this was filmed, master chief straightened out all our cooks and actually gave us decent food for once lol
what we’d have given for a Master Chief Paje on my ship. We lived on chili-mac and bug juice.
Josh Spurkowski I served with him on my ship. Good guy.

9:59 hit close to home. I see that no matter what kind of kitchen and where, the almighty side towel still reigns supreme. The side towel is everything.
Love the interview with the chef about the mentorship. Such a humble man.
The goat is back!!
3:19 "after you sir" I felt that
Did many years on carriers as an Airedale. The MSs were / are the fking backbone of ops. I can’t express my appreciation for them enough.
I’ve been in the navy for 13 years and never been on a ship. I think that manning the rails in New York and Pearl Harbor is one of the most incredible things for a person to be a part of. Hopefully, before I checkout, I can somehow be a part of it.
My dad was a navy cook during Vietnam.
He joined because he was told he could have all the milk he could ever want.
His arms were covered in scars from trays of bacon grease splashing him and pans burning him.
He refused to ever cook again except maybe once a year he'd make a giant pot of oatmeal.
He never did learn how to scale the portion size down.
Great story
That sounds like a very sad life.
Milk... he joined because of milk. Is your dad a bit special?
batt3ryac1d ha, no. He was born to a single mother in the fifties who couldn’t afford to feed multiple children much, especially not ones that were 6’8”. He was just always hungry and his brother (who is 6’5”) told him that he could eat as much as he wanted and drink as much milk as he wanted if he joined the navy.
Durko Lewis it was a very small part of a very well lived life.
The opening music was "Get as close to Top Gun you can but the free version"
It did not sound anything like the top gun anthem.
@@sweetguy19762get your ears checked
@@sweetguy19762 yes it did
@@sweetguy19762 Maybe not top gun anthem but highway to the danger zone
I've been on some pretty nasty assignments where I had to eat in every branch of the military's chow halls and all I can say is Navy chow is the best for sure.
When he compared the rack to a coffin, I was like exactly, my older sister is a sailor and she says her rack is a coffin, they call them coffins racks.😂
Emilee McMahon hahah that’s great
@Byte Length Alright then..
looks more comfy that the bunk beds i slept on while backpacking.
They are called coffin racks because of the way they open. They lift up like a coffin lid and that is your storage space... trust me, it ain’t much. Oh, and he is on a “Gator Freighter” and they typically have the best berthing of all main line ships.
Yeah my man Frank's back! Not pizza, but this will have to do.
@wildebest yeah, that was kinda the joke. You don't have to be a dick just because you're do thick headed you didn't get it
wildebest you’re clearly a idiot didn’t know how to spell.
@@FBI-yd6co He can spell. However, Your choice of words just makes you look like a fucking idiot. Can't really talk shit when you can't even proof read your own shit lmfao
Love how Frank got a little emotional at them calling that dish ‘Italian Baked Beans’ but he powered forward lol.
He said it’s like a coffin, hence why they are called coffin racks! Miss mine, slept like a baby
