Used to look after Lipsett Hall the Gym for the 2PPCLI Infantry. We
had one of those cookoffs anumber of years back behind the gym.
I'm pretty sure it was the Army, Air Force, and I think they invited
the cooks from Bragg. The three wanted to win so the food was
terrific, even got some to put in the fridge for the next day.
