More of a Veteran's question...

We had a really solid DFAC on post, but was always a challenge to get soft, scrambled eggs.

Was always satisfied, until I visited an Air Force DFAC, and was like going from a 2 star to a 5 star…

The last post I had was Womack Army Hospital at FT. Bragg.
We would go to the hospital early early and set up our surgical suite for the day's surgery and then go down to the hospital cafeteria for breakfast.

They had a full breakfast line with everything, but they also had a guy who worked the griddle facing the line who custom made omlets to order. He would throw some butter on his griddle with one hand and then a ladel of whipped eggs with the other hand. About as soon as the eggs spread, he would toss a handful of whatever you wanted - usually ham and cheese for me then immediately begin rolling it and as soon as he finished rolling it it was on your plate and in your hand. A cup of fresh black coffee, an omlet and two pieces of wheat toast would carry you through whatever cases you were assigned for that day, usually two or three before lunch, or four or five if they asked you to skip lunch for a heavy schedule.

At the end of schedule and cleaning your room for the next day's schedule it was time for dinner, unless you had patients to prep for the next day's schedule. Hopefully someone on the ward would do it for you. My memory is that more days than not, we worked through lunch so I don't remember much about it but I'm sure we ate good stuff, much better than most soldiers were eating back then.

I will never forget that breakfast grill guy. He was a skilled artist. Quick and very skillful doing what he did.
