Whiskey Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I believe during Tour of Champions in 2004 they had a "cook off" with the bus drivers of all the corps being the food judges. Blue Devils came in 1st and SCV I think came in 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouttimp Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Don't get me wrong, I Loved Ollie Mae and Kool-Aid Mary! But, in my years in the Scouts, the cook truck took great pride in coming in well under the food budget every year. Breakfast- always cereal (one box of cap'n crunch, one box of apple jax, 45 boxes of generic corn flakes, or generic rice krispies-don't sleep in!), bad juice, milk, PBJ, and laser beam percolated coffee (yum!). Lunch- cold cut sandwiches, one piece of meat, one piece of cheese "That's enough! they're all the same!" and salty kool aid (mixed by Mary's arm!). Dinner- Beanie weenie, taco salad, PBJ, repeat. In short, did I eat adequately and nutritiously? Yes. Did I hang around the VK food truck after shows, hoping for a handout? Umm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubalovin' Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 i've always heard that Yamato eats very well on tour. granted they have a short tour, but i've heard from many people who worked the kitchens and marched that they were the best fed corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrzyInVA Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The Cadets hire a professional Chef for tour dont they? I would imagine the YEA! corps eat VERY well. I don't know about the Cadets, but one person -- Donna -- runs the Crossmen kitchen. It's amazing what she's able to do with the budget she's given, and the kids are always very appreciative of her talents and of the other kitchen moms (and dads) who help out.

Legalhack Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 We did something like this during the long rehearsal day for the Tour of Champions in 2004. The 6 cook trucks were lined up in a semi-circle and you could choose any of the trucks. I think ate had some spaghetti from the Scouts' cook truck.There was also some kind of competition among the cook trucks. If I remember my ToC DVD correctly, the Blue Devils won. The corps that marched in the Wakefield, Mass. parade (this year: Cadets, Phantom, Crown, Crossmen, Magic and maybe one or two more, my middle-aged brain has let me down) have "shared" food trucks for the past two years.

I think the Cadets hired a professional to manage the kitchen but illness kept him off tour and, thus, the food truck has been a volunteer operation from bumper to bumper. That said, the food is good (for tour food) and there is plenty of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
