#MFAkitchenlog2025
Week 25 started before the last one ended. Night blended into morning, sleep into shifts. We cooked tons, shot videos, rewrote the menu — then logistics hit. One dish was hot, another missing, the whole line froze. Chaos.

The plan? Written. Read? Never.
Potatoes wait while dishes get washed, timing slips, portioning spills into the night. Pasta, rice, bacon, desserts — chaos in motion. Some cook, some freeze, some perform drama when corrected.

On Monday, while doing inventory, we uncovered quite a few surprises — things “lost” during the previous week. The shift lead was very vocal about it and spent a lot of time re-setting the entire workflow after their predecessors.

Over the course of five weeks, we delivered over 74,000 meal portions to the military and packaged nearly the same amount.
We faced many challenges: deep cleaning until late at night, record-setting packaging days, improving bread baking and pasta preparation techniques.
