1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,807
(food bubbling)

2
00:00:04,479 --> 00:00:05,465
- Yeah!

3
00:00:05,465 --> 00:00:09,070
(vegetables sizzling)

4
00:00:09,070 --> 00:00:10,210
- So the purpose of the food truck,

5
00:00:10,210 --> 00:00:11,930
or The Culinary Outpost, is an extension

6
00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:13,720
of the garrison food service program

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,490
that is in the Rheinland-Pfalz area,

8
00:00:15,490 --> 00:00:17,520
The main purpose of it is to get food

9
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,410
to where soldiers can't get
to a dining facility on time.

10
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:22,500
So if they have extended PT hours,

11
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:23,590
or if they're on an installation

12
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:24,640
that does not have a dining facility,

13
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,575
we can bring that food
truck to those soldiers

14
00:00:26,575 --> 00:00:27,408
(skillet sizzling)

15
00:00:27,408 --> 00:00:29,910
and give them a good
breakfast meal, or lunch meal.

16
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:30,743
- The food truck,

17
00:00:30,743 --> 00:00:32,770
it is more technologically advanced,

18
00:00:32,770 --> 00:00:34,480
we have a 30k generator on there,

19
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,500
an air fryer that gets
us away from grease,

20
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,900
which turns into an
overall healthier product.

21
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,190
We run off of propane, which
is a cleaner-burning gas.

22
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:43,980
We have refrigerators onboard,

23
00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:45,330
that way we can store cold items

24
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:48,510
and service that to the
soldiers within the garrison.

25
00:00:48,510 --> 00:00:52,000
- So the Outpost Food
Truck will be operational

26
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
in Baumholder, Panzer and
Sembach as of right now.

27
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,270
- [Zachary] So our
Culinarians have gone through

28
00:00:59,270 --> 00:01:01,560
four weeks of training
on the Culinary Outpost.

29
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,570
We started with a hands-on
on each piece of equipment

30
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:05,110
to make sure each soldier was proficient

31
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:07,700
in starting the generator,
operating the air fryer,

32
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,350
operating the propane tanks.

33
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:10,990
And then we moved into the food portion,

34
00:01:10,990 --> 00:01:13,680
where we started doing small preparations.

35
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,410
Ran through different types of menus

36
00:01:15,410 --> 00:01:16,760
that can be prepared on it.

37
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,873
- [Rocio] The process to prepare meals

38
00:01:18,873 --> 00:01:20,820
on the Outpost Food Truck,

39
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:23,950
has to do with a lot of preparation.

40
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:26,420
With the food truck, we have to cook

41
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:28,580
whatever meat that is raw,

42
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:30,268
and so then once it's on the food truck,

43
00:01:30,268 --> 00:01:33,420
you heat it on the grill
for like two minutes

44
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:35,680
or whatever, one minute,
and then prep that.

45
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,590
And for the salad bar,
we have to make sure

46
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:39,140
that we cut all the toppings up,

47
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:41,210
wash all the vegetables before cutting it.

48
00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:44,410
For the sandwich bar,
make sure that we have

49
00:01:44,410 --> 00:01:47,030
all the meats, the cheeses, the toppings

50
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:52,030
that go on each specific
sandwich that we prep.

51
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,220
And the Asian bowls consist of vegetables,

52
00:01:56,220 --> 00:01:59,405
meat and ether rice or noodle.

53
00:01:59,405 --> 00:02:02,080
- [Zachary] We shoot for a
90 minute service window,

54
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,400
and within the 90 minutes,

55
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,803
the target is to feed 200 soldiers.

56
00:02:05,803 --> 00:02:07,970
(murmurs)
