Here’s what it takes to feed the LSU Football Team -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWGsnmp5fa92gpo

[@petesouvall1085]

This dude is living the dream as a chef. Probably an awesome salary, incredible facilities at his disposal, the best ingredients…so jealous. That rational is the best kitchen tool ever also.

[@zogbogbean2464]

Awesome salary? Dude is absolutely gettin PAID like how nba overpays for everything lol.. it’s insane the amount these nfl/nba chefs make

[@petesouvall1085]

[@Fantasy23Legend]

This is absolutely incredible to see. For the most part, I think we understand that the athletes get fed. But this gives us a thorough glimpse of what it takes to feed, fuel, snacks, individual nutrition, and goals of the players. It also helps me understand even more, how much money these NBA teams bring in. It is almost unfortunate that the common Joe Schmo, will never get to experience something like this.

[@thekillercardinal]

I appreciate these looks behind the scenes into the Sports Culinary world and honoring the Chefs and dieticians that make the kitchen portion tick. Shawn seemed like he really appreciated his role in the Org. Eating is a 168 hour a week component of the game!

[@NicoEl119]

Black dude tells the NBA, Million Dollar white chef...."Can we add a pinch of salt??"...BY FAR, THE BEST LINE OF WHOLE VIDEO ..🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel bad for this guy. He works so hard every night to feed the Pistons and they go out there every night and stink up the court. If they worked half as hard as he does, they'd be in the playoffs right now

I wonder how many of the Pistons players fed that food lady their special sauce

[@sorrynotsorry610]

Very interesting. I wonder if they can't eat fried food because they're athletes or because it's just unhealthy. I wouldve assumed before this that if anyone should get a pass for eating fried food once n a while it would be an athlete.

[@dickriggles942]

It's a cafeteria for professional athletes. Fried food adds too many calories. Get it on your own time but they're not going to serve you that there. Also, he said they air fry instead of fry, and that's pretty much almost just as good anyways.
