The US service men probably prefer fried noodle while the Korean counterparts prefer burgers and fries. People like to try new things.
@Rich 91 you right, Korean fried chicken is delicious.
@Rich 91 KFC is huge in Asia during Christmas time, especially in Japan
😆 I always would split my chow while in Iraq. Every morning I would get hardboiled eggs, and bacon on our side of the chow tent. Then I would go on their side and get chai, and that heavenly flat bread. I ate more meals with the Iraqi troops than my own 😆. I tell people all the time, the best way to experience culture is to eat it.
Back when I was stationed in Japan my squadron had a cook out with our Japanese counterparts. All of us were eating the Japanese foods they brought while the Japanese were enjoying the burgers and hot dogs we were making.
@@Obi_Gorn im pretty sure the kfc Christmas thing is only for japan
I was stationed at Kunsan AB. On the Korean Air Force side there was a Korean cafeteria. I use to go there instead of eating at the dinning facility. I like spicy food 😋
first of all, i served in the 27xx inf. div. ROKA
second of all, ewwww Korean army food ewwwwww
Same when I was at Camp Casey/Hovey I went to the Katusa snack bar more than I did the Defac I love Korean food mainly because I’m half Korean 😋
Hopefully, they had kimchi jjigae for ya after cold days! Nothing warms you up like spicy fermented cabbage sticking to the insides of your ribs (I love kimchi, I make it and ferment it myself at home)
I really like this coalition and mixing (for lack of a better word) between the U.S. and Korea. We see the US offering Korean meals to their Korean counterparts and the Korean soldiers wearing U.S. uniforms. It’s all interesting to me. May the U.S. and Korea continue their partnership
Respect for US Army Cooks. 🇺🇸
South Korea is poor 👎🏻💩🇰🇷 🇺🇸
@@MHM_246 The average american is in $50,000 of debt, and the US is in $28,000,000,000,000 of gross debt. We're not doing so hot buddy
@@doc.l Inaccurate statements avail you nothing.
Absolutely.
The brother at the end did the small respectful bow when serving the food. Mad respects
They deserve the best meals
Thank you for your service! from korea
South Korea is poor 👎🏻💩🇰🇷
I served in the USAF in the early ‘70s and the food at the mess hall was very good (and plentiful). I still remember being served a thick T-bone steak for breakfast. In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the mess hall served “midnight chow”. I gained so much weight eating all those meals.
In the Army in the late '70's also and it was always the place to stop in for a late-night meal, "Mid Rats" on the weekends. It was a shocker when I switched to the Coast Guard and we just called up room service on deployment, I kid you not. HC-130 and Falcon 20, we traveled a bit, and getting a meal late at night sometimes sucked. We put the bird to bed late and everything in the town we landed at was closed up, so yes it really was room service but I preferred Mid Rats to that.
Me too bud
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing memories!
I was in the Air Force, early 70s, as well, stationed in Taiwan, and the food was excellent, the dining hall won awards just about every year. Before that I was stationed in Italy and the food there was really bad.
@@lawrencevadman2918 Well its Italy :P What you expect.
That was one of the things that I really enjoyed about the Army...the food! In my opinion, the best food anywhere.
oh yeah? Even the MRE'S?
Gtfo. What base(s) and when were you in? Were you a starving African before then?

I was stationed at Osan AB, ROK in ‘85-‘86 before South Korea was westernized and believe me there is a night and day difference. I worked on a combined ROK-US Team and they spoke a little English and I spoke no Hangul but we made it work. A ROK Lt wanted to go to the Base Theatre and watch “Out of Africa” but the theater was owned by us so he needed me to take him. He was so excited, it was his first big movie theater experience . We were standing in the concession line and I pointed out all the typical snacks Americans eat while watching a movie and I bought us a big bag of buttered popcorn, Milk Duds, Ju-Ju beans and Two huge Cokes. After we sat down and started to munch I asked him what was the usual snack that Koreans ate while watching movies. His answer “dried squid”. I almost spit out my Coke but I shouldn’t have been surprised because the street food there had a lot of squid, eel and other things that crawl in the bottom of the ocean. Anyway, it was a very nice time for the both of us.
That's really nice, man.
Was Songtan Sally around in the 80s?
@@diogeneslantern18 not that I remember, but Miss Lee’s McDonalds was.
@@BonnChnd I have to be honest, my ex was an airman back in the early 2010s and I was always so curious about her time there.
Unfortunately I'm not an American but I would have really liked to join the USAF had I been an American!!
Damn Daniel, that mess hall food looks sooooo nice.
Shit their food looks more appetizing than the food from home.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I have to say in America you are used to fast food and a lot of shit with butter, fries and unhealthy fat.
You should eat more like the mediterranean, more apetizing and much healthier.
The country really take care of their soldier.
Small history here. my first memories, Okinawa. Dad was army I was all of 5 year old when we left. I was 14 when he retired, but the food, The Army didn't fuck around. I got all of the Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July and pretty much all the semi major holidays, to enjoy Army food from a mess hall. Made me question every Navy galley, except the Galley at Great Lakes. I think they may have retired or active Army cooks there, best the Navy had to offer.
That beef noodles stir fry looked pretty good!!!
You folks Deserve the Best .
Cooks in Korea, everyone is happy and doing their job in a fairly safe environment. Cooks on deployment, You are now the ag to a gunner. Cause the infantry unit you are attached to is nearly combat ineffective. :) Go team.
0:17 🇰🇷 soldiers be like, "Don't mind me, imma just sneak in here for a 🍔" 😂.
Tianxiang Xiong lol
They are probably KATUSAS Korean soldiers assigned to American units.
Weptek911 That they are. I still keep in touch with some KATUSAs from when I was over there.
South Korea is poor
@@MHM_246 looks like someone didnt get the belt when being raised up.
Our military deserve the best!
Thank you.
In India, about a hundred years ago ex military cooks and catering staff started setting up restaurants called 'Military Hotels' in some cities especially in southern India, ostensibly for former soldiers who had developed a taste non vegetarian dishes while serving in the Army but could not get it in their orthodox, vegetarian home towns.
Ofcourse, they welcomed non military customers as well. Over the years they have become quite specialized in tasty non vegetarian food.
Similar establishments in northern India are called 'Fauji Dhabas'
god bless AMERICA for protecting us
@NA 4 What's their alternative? Let the whack job from the north whom creates fake "peace towns", lives and luxury and throws his slacvs the scraps rule?
Always respected military cooks. 22 years (ret).
I was stationed here the time they videoed this.
Stationed in Korea for a year in 2002-2003 Camp Stanley 2ID Divarty HHB. I love it. Best place to go if your a single
Amazing 😊
Nice!
I recall the food in the Army DFAC at Camp Humphreys in Korea was very good. There was also a Korean café on post run by local folks and it was amazing.
Didn't realize Koreans and Americans got on so well. That's kind of nice to see.
I kinda miss chow hall food. 😥
Team work great
They pile it on, you wouldn't go hungry and that fish looks real good. Thanks for the show.
I wore that patch back in '98. 61st Maint. Co. On Camp Kyle
Looks like the best food in the World to me ! ,the only thing missing is a British cup of tea.! God Bless America!.
im ex Air Force and idc what anyone says, when I had training on army bases = best military food I ever had.
The best meals I ate in Korea were outside the gate and from the on-post Korean places.
When I was stationed at Camp Howze.... the food was good in the mess hall - the "Meat Market" on camp or just right outside the Gate.
There were no messhalls like this when I was in.
Nice
Why did this channel stop uploading videos?
Once upon a time I was at Camp Carroll, there was a roach on serving counter during lunch service... later at supper, there was a roach in the salad... after that, I didn't eat much at the DFAC except packaged food.
I was trying to see if I was in the video but, no cigar lol.
Kwangju Korea had a small chow hall food was very good. Osan had good Chow too. I was in the Navy
,Squadrons had detachment at those bases.
Mashaa Allah ☝
MiliSource, what happened? It's been two years since you've posted.
Thats some good looking grub
Stationed at the Hump '06-'07. 3rd MI DFAC near the ville gate had the best food.
Welllll im bout to join the us army just cuz of the food
Ours was nothing like that in 1964/1965.
weird but somehow I often miss food from DFAC...
Dafuq?
Nothing like eating in the CG’s Mess hall when possible.
I was a DFAC MGR Camp Casey Korea
Thanks from Korea.
Wonderful 👍👍👍😋
Just can't get over the title and the picture is of KATUSA's sitting at the dining table - does it mean that KATUSA's get Korean food in Korea?
So why did this channel stop posting
Pretty good looking chow.
Served in Korea,1976-77. Camp Market, great Korean eats,good American fare.
19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, Camp Henry, Daegu ROK
Used to be the 19th Support Command when I was there in the late 80s
Respect from Korea.
우리나라도있내^^수고하십니다
The food looks great. They eat better than I do.
Are you done with updating this channel?
"Home away from home". Korean people making American food for Korean soldiers.
hahahahah so true but Korea pays for it soooo
your confused.
@@terryjp3050 what do you mean? 80% of the cost is paid by Korean Gov. The workers are Korean (cook etc)who are making American Food for Korean soldiers in American base (KATUSA).
I didnt see any koreans cooking. I saw American service men and woman cooking
@Sono Luminescence Say hello to your OTH Separation!
As someone from new zealand, weird but cool seeing that sign post
nicht schlecht ❤👍❤
I’m getting hungry.
That’s a Squared away chow hall, outstanding!!! 62Gulf/91Mike (96 to 05)
So random that I happened to click on this and the first nco talking was a guy from my basic training platoon. I ran into him in Iraq too lol
Life is good if there's Tabasco sauce in the mess hall! Trust me!
Lol ,what is it with you guys and making everything taste like fire? I'm a Canadian and marshmallows are too spicy for me
@ I'm Canadian too! Did you get your extra three gallons of Maple Syrup yesterday? I heard there was a discount 0-0, Spicy and sweet is always good I tell you.
Better then school lunch
Military industrial complex hard at work.
Thank you for showing me this clean and welcoming US military chow hall.
A cook with a Combat Action Ribbon?
Keep giong
them noodles look fireeee.
the KATUSAs in our battalion were the biggest shammers lmao. Always going to "KATUSA Meetings" when there were tasks to be done, or on Motorpool Mondays
I got out of orders 3 times from Korea lol. Thank god I never had to go.
I just got back from Korea... it was a good time. You would have enjoyed it.
This chow line is a far cry from when I served. ..For example: "How you want your eggs?" Id say "sunny side up" then the response was " You mean scrambled"
I like mine softly tickled with long nails.
Lots of green eggs too.
Your meals are great compare to the JJAM BAP that I used to eat
HHB DIVARTY Camp Stanley 2ID 02-03
Man I miss the DFAC.......
can we come and try the food?
The food there reminds me of the USAF CHOW HALLS. The ARMY must have sent there cooks to USAF COOKING SCHOOL.
Essa comida deve ser muito boa 👍🍲🍜
camp henry... Good place for KATUSA...
Noodles should always be eaten with a little water to taste good and never fried or with excess water.
The daily gathering of the POGs colorized
Regulation Bmi is non existent there.
Oh you mean the UA-cam comment section?
Provider Grill was the superior DFAC in Korea. change my mind
Is this the Katusa Snack Bar?
Imagine joining the army, making $2K/month, good food daily, free travel, all the Asians you want. Damn.
But 2K a month is barely any money.
@@tn1149 Not in Asia
T N I think that’s after tax effects and military people get free housing too. So 2K goes a long way.
where is the Kimchee???
✌👌💯
thank you for protecting korea!
По человечески
At home we get more than one starch and one vegetable and one protein.
I worked at a mess hall. It was okay. Good money.
its not a good meal if your not being yelled at by a Sargent. just joking looks very good
Cook with a CAB.
Earned for hearing stories about someone else in combat while head counting at the chow hall at an nice big safe air field that has swimming pools, internet, subway and laundry services.
11 seconds in what kind of parade rest is that?
That parade did look sketchy as hell
At 1:06 why, does that soldier in OCP have his PC on indoor?
They make the guys doing KP to wear headgears as they keep move in and out of the kitchen.
When I enlisted it was called a chow hall. Reagan administration, cold war.
Then Billary Clinton came to office. Not only did he strip the military's budget (screwed us over). He also brought in political correctness.
The chow hall became the DFAC. Short for dining facility.
Us cold war vets caught a lot of he'll for being slow to adapt to the change. But, a ten year habit isn't easily broken.
Always respect your cooks. Chow Hall or DFAC.
A military doesn't move on an empty stomach. All of the equipment and training in the world isn't worth a damn if the personnel are too weak to use it.
94bravo MOS, SPOONS !! COLD WAR VET 87-90. 3rd Armored Division, West Germany. Hot chow is better than cold chow, especially out in the Field. Cooks Out!!
Very much, very much. I have quite a few relatives and friends in the Armed Forces and realize how important good quality food is for the people in uniform
