Sodexo is partnering with celebrity chef Robert Irvine in an attempt to provide military communities with healthier meals.
The 10-year partnership will allow Sodexo to access chef Irvine’s knowledge of nutrition and fitness in its aim to benefit the quality of life for military members, the vendor said in a news release.
Sodexo hopes that Irvine’s popularity as the host of Food Network’s "Restaurant: Impossible" will draw attention to its commitment to nutrition, health and well being. Irvine also has a military history himself—before embarking on his culinary career, he served as a member of the British Royal Navy for close to a decade.
The foodservice provider said it offers services at 150 government and military locations throughout the country via its Sodexo Government arm.
