00:00.000 --> 00:04.630
^- Chinhae Navy Base, Messlords' Barbeque-a-Rama

00:04.630 --> 00:05.627
I'm Stretch.

00:05.627 --> 00:07.873
You should come down and eat our food.

00:08.840 --> 00:11.240
^- [Mariah] The Messlords are bringing a taste from home

00:11.240 --> 00:13.840
^to service members at Chinhae Naval Base.

00:13.840 --> 00:16.410
The event starts with the celebrity chefs preparing

00:16.410 --> 00:18.830
their signature Kansas City-style barbecue.

00:18.830 --> 00:22.183
Chef Jeff Vanderlinde explains what's on the menu.

00:22.540 --> 00:26.687
^- It's an American-style barbecue, brisket and some pork,

00:26.687 --> 00:29.250
^and homemade mac and cheese, along with slaw,

00:29.250 --> 00:30.950
and cornbread and all the fixings.

00:31.220 --> 00:33.240
- [Mariah] During the dinner, the Messlords greet

00:33.240 --> 00:35.419
and mingle with service members and families.

00:35.419 --> 00:38.503
Chef Stretch reflects on the best part of his trip.

00:38.503 --> 00:41.390
- Coming and seeing their facial expressions after

00:41.390 --> 00:43.400
they get great food in their belly.

00:43.400 --> 00:44.780
It says everything.

00:44.780 --> 00:46.227
You know, a picture's worth a thousand words,

00:46.227 --> 00:48.593
but someone's expression when they put some great food

00:48.593 --> 00:51.038
into their mouth, it just takes them to a whole other place.

00:51.038 --> 00:53.838
It reminds them of home and family and what they're missing.

00:53.838 --> 00:56.440
And it also reminds them what they're fighting for.

00:56.440 --> 00:58.410
- [Mariah] Reporting from Chinhae Naval Base,

00:58.410 --> 01:00.593
I'm Army Sergeant Mariah Jones.
