About Us
Chow honors America’s veterans and military spouses by providing a pathway to learn vocational skills in the culinary arts.
The transition to civilian life can be daunting when considering a complete career change. Whether someone has no food service experience or is a retired Culinary Specialist, we can help.
Chow gives veterans the opportunity to own and operate food trucks. We bridge the gap between a veteran leaving the service and entering the culinary industry through our Food Truck Training Program (FTTP).
The FTTP sets up select veterans with a food truck, menu, branding, supply chain support, food safety training, and much more. These veterans operate under the Chow support umbrella as we provide logistic and technical support.
The goal is, once the veteran or military spouse has learned enough about the culinary industry, they are free to pursue their own business venture - perhaps opening a restaurant of their own.
Through the profits of these trucks, Chow pursues other initiatives supporting veterans and military families through cooking therapy, cookware donations, culinary education, and online recipes.
Are you a veteran or military spouse interested in starting your own culinary business? …then “ Let’s Chow.”
