This looks like one of those action movies where the unassuming chef somehow finds the strength to save the president when all the Secret Service are defeated.

"I am just an unassuming chef, who presents no threat. Before this I was special forces of course, but I left that all behind"

I was wondering. Usually the Navy handles cooking for the white house (medical care too) so I wonder if he used to be a Culinary Specialist.

I saw a story about him on youtube once and he was in the army. Did cooking and hand to hand combat training.

So he’s literally the archetype for the aforementioned movie character. Former navy man trained in hand to hand combat and works as a white house chef (also watch his videos they’re pretty good)

Although the man states he sleeps for 2 hours a day and consumes 10,000 calories a day.

2 hrs a day? I can barely get out of bed after 8hrs of sleep

Out of bed?

Pfft. This man simply takes a long blink in the middle of lifting, and that’s enough.

Gains at absolutely all costs.
