Robert Irvine got his start aboard a British Royal Navy ship kitchen, but the celebrity chef has come a long way from MREs.
When he was just 15 years old, Robert Irvine joined the British Royal Navy. His 10 years spent among the sailors was the time when he began practicing the culinary arts — a passion that led him to become a world-renowned chef. After his time serving, he worked everywhere from cruise ships, to casinos, and hotels, including Donald Trump’s Taj Mahal in Atlantic City in order perfect his craft.
Now, aged 50, he has starred in a number of cooking shows on the Food Network like “Dinner:Impossible” and “Restaurant: Impossible,” launched his own restaurants, become a fitness guru, and even started a veterans charity: The Robert Irvine Foundation, which donates money to veterans advocacy groups across the country. Recently, Task & Purpose got the chance to catch up with chef Irvine, who shared his thoughts on MREs, fitness tips, and the reason he wants to give back to those who serve.
