There’s a new episode of the Crispy on the Outside podcast up and it’s a very special one. We interviewed Capt. Kevin Adams, a good friend of mine who is an Army JAG officer stationed in Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. If you know me, then you probably know Kevin, too.
We talked about what soldiers in the Army eat. This is a fascinating episode that you don’t want to miss. He tell us about the base’s dining facilities that offer less-than-comforting comfort foods, MREs, and the many fast food options available. Notable among these is a the trailer inside of which is a detailed replica of a real Starbucks.
