Crossposted from cwtt.org This last week, Cooking with the Troops was honored to be at the graduation exercise for Vets2Chefs. This program, from the wonderful people at Warrior Gateway, took a group of veterans and put them through a 30-day culinary bootcamp run by Chef David James Robinson at his Bezalel Gables Fine Catering & Events. The facility is much more than meets the eye. The space you see here is below the main dining room, which can be seen here with Chef David and some of the guests: The graduation exercise was a dinner prepared for some seventeen food and wine enthusiasts, including some local notables. CwtT was delighted to have two representatives there, as the group of veteran chefs was even more outstanding than the delicious food. The dinner was developed and prepared by the veteran chefs, who also served the meal. Here's a shot of them preparing to serve one of the eight courses: When you say they did everything, we do mean everything including cleaning up as they went: This is (most) of the first class to go through the culinary bootcamp program Cooking with the Troops is proud to have provided some encouragement and chef's kits to this first group in the Vets2Chefs program.
