My dad was a cook in the navy and then on commercial tuna boats. I remember when he was in port, he would take us kids with him while he ordered the supplies and prepared the ship and galley for the next trip. We would sometimes take the trip on the boat from San Diego to San Pedro, Calif. for the unloading of the catch. During this time I would help in the galley as he served 3 meals a day to the crew and to the ship owners and cannery officials. They would all come to eat what he prepared as he was very good at his job and his food was extremely good. Everything was made from scratch. From biscuits, bread, to desserts with fresh pies and cakes. I learned to cook by watching him.

I was a soldier and when u body and mind is exhausted because of "work" delicious food is the highest morale and motivation for us..

I'm married to a Filipina here in the US. Her father, brother, and brother-in-law were all mariners. Much respect to these guys; they are away for months at a time to give there families a better life. Thank you much.

You can see that he understands cooking as an expression of love. He puts everything into it and the food he produces shows it. I love to cook and I understand his dedication and sense of service. Nothing is more gratifying than to serve others food that they appreciate. Thanks very much for another very moving and edifying video, Chief Makoi!

In my opinion that cook is the definition of a real he did not do what he wanted to do in life. He did what he had to do. He took care of the people he loves. May GOD bless this man

I watched cook's facial expressions while he cooked - he's putting his soul and takes pride in it. I wish him well.

The food looks delicious, that Chief Cook has talent and that's a job that you get very little time off ! Probably one of the most important crew members on board. Dedication with sacrifices !

[raste]

I'm also a son of a chief cook and I know how much they sacrifice for us, their family, for them to support us and that's why I really respect and honor my father. Salute to all seaman out their. Bon voyage and get there safe!

"when I retire I want to start a small business" What a legend!

I watched this and thought about some of the mess sergeants I had in the Army. initially the one in Desert storm that was part of the company, then later the consolidated mess platoon at the battalion level. When I was an armorer I would always get detailed to go with the mess sergeant to the cold and dry storage. Learning the budgeting that he had to go through to supply an entire brigade of engineers and an ADA battalion was interesting. Who needed MRE's or prepared food in the field and at what time, how many cooks had to go out to the field kitchens that belonged to which units, and which cooks had certain culinary courses. The shocking thing, the cost per individual for normal meals per day. Then those ominous days where you got steak and lobster while deployed. Still another one in Germany had some ability to purchase items from the local economy and that was interesting what he could pull off with limited funds. I could not get over just how much good cooks helped a unit, until I saw a group of bad cooks. Then there was the 1st armored division Christmas eve meal that was catered in in 1990. almost 3/4 of the division had food poisoning the next day. Little to say my first Christmas meal in the Army was an old dehydrated beef patty MRE.

I just watched this video now, this almost made me cry. Such a harworking man who does everything with care and love. His crew should feel very blessed❤

[estellemelodimitchell]

Chief Cook is such a humble man who goes to the sea to provide for his family, put his children through college and enjoy his profession despite the challenges and sacrifices he has to make.

[LateDude]

A good meal after a long day working at sea is the best thing on a ship.

[MichaelHeinrich]

What a nice and humble guy, and the food he is preparing looks delicious. Thank you for the video chief.

thanks for featuring one of the most important person who is in charge of keeping the crew healthy and alive. a corporate executive chef of one of the passenger vessel once said, "the ship, aside from the captain who steers her, it needs a chief/chef to keep her going. as we all know food is one of the most important key elements to survive." kudos to all chief filipino chief cooks who are very dedicated to do their duties on-board despite o hardships and sacrifices. #ProudOne

These chefs deserve the best salary. So much respect for them keeping moral high
