Adopt A
Ship Program
The Hamilton SpectatorThe Hamilton District Society of Chefs & Cooks held an International
Night at the Chamber of Commerce, with special guests, Bob Morrow, Senior Chief Mike
Gratton of the U.S. Navy, and various Presidents of Regional Chaoters of Chefs &
Cooks. The evening featured a presentation of the Adopt A Ship Program in which the
American navy develops the skills of its cooks by recruiting executive chefs from
restaurants through the United States and Canada. The chefs are allowed to
work aboard a ship for a minimum of two weeks and assume command of the galleys as they
work side by side with Navy Mess Specialists. Chef Trevor Hamilton of the Coach
House at Dundurn Castle, was one of the first chefs inducted into the program. He
and several other programs participants are foregoing their salary, and paying their own
way to and from San Francisco. |
