Job Description:
Culinary Specialist (Surface) | Culinary Specialist (Submarines)
The Navy's more than 7,000 culinary specialists (CS), deployed around the globe, feed on average more than 92 million wholesome and nutritious meals per year, ensuring the Navy's fighting forces operate at peak performance and are ready to respond to threats worldwide. Navy commanding officers agree that nothing impacts Sailors on a day-to-day basis more than the food CSs prepare for them; they believe these top quality meals contribute directly to Sailor quality of life and morale. Today's CSs have greater culinary instruction than ever before. With even more advanced training on the way, Sailors, both afloat and ashore, can look forward to even healthier and better-tasting meals in the future...

Espinoza observes Culinary Specialist Seaman Antonio Grant, galley watch captain, and Culinary Specialist 1st Class Richard Guiterrez, create an Adobo chicken dish for the crew on board the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67).

That does bring up a question I've had for a number of years...if you look at enlisted Navy uniforms from many different countries there is one common design feature......three white stripes. Besides US uniforms I've seen photos of German WWII uniforms, Russian uniforms, Canadian and British....all with three white stripes....what is the history on that?

Five ‘top notch’ Culinary Specialists from Norfolk, San Diego and Hawaii traveled to the United Kingdom in October to collaborate with the Royal Navy for the 2014 Combined Service Culinary Competition. Team Captain and Certified Member of the World Master Chefs Society, CSC (SW/AW) Michael Edwards, CEC, PCEC, and Director of Naval Foodservice, CDR Danny King, led the Culinary Specialists to an unprecedented win, resulting in 2 ‘Best in Show’ Hotel Olympia Gold Medals, 6 Silver Medals and 4 Bronze Medals and served a pivotal role in securing the ultimate ‘Best Service’ Trophy for the Royal Navy (a title they had not attained in 14 years). On the last day of the event, with a ‘neck and neck’ tie between the branches, Navy Chief Michael Edwards became the first American ever to win the coveted title of the Royal Navy’s Armed Forces Chef of the Year, thus winning a ‘Best in Show’ Gold Medal in the Senior Grand Prix Category. BRAVO ZULU to the US Navy Culinary Competition Team!
