There
were thousands of mouths to feed in the past two months at Telstra
Stadium.
First there was the National Rugby League grand final series,
next came the lead-up games, semi-finals and final of the World
Rugby.
Helping prepare the meals were three Navy cooks.
They included LSCK Chris McGregor, who normally works in the Wardroom
at HMAS Watson, and ABCKs Melissa Webb and Megan Wilcox, who are
from the galley at HMAS Kuttabul.
For six weeks, five days per week, as part of “work experience”
the trio worked with the stadium’s executive chef John Deane
and his staff, preparing a full range of food.
Mr Deane said he was impressed by the attitude, work ethic and
professionalism displayed by the trio.
Sunday, November 16 saw some VIP visitors call at the stadium
kitchens to talk with the busy cooks.
They were Mr Mal Brough, the Minister Assisting the Defence Minister,
Chief of the Defence Force, GEN Peter Cosgrove and the Parliamentary
Secretary to the Defence Minister, Fran Bailey.
