Lt. Col. Nom-de-Plume, deputy commander of Malmstrom AFB, congratulates the Elkhorn Dining Facility while speaking reverently about strawberry gateau.
GREAT FALLS, MT — The Elkhorn Dining Facility (DFAC) at Malmstrom Air Force Base has been awarded a Michelin star, according to a representative from the famed French dining guide. Even a single Michelin star—the highest rating is three stars—is considered a coup de foie gras in gustatory circles.
“Because of its devotion to top quality ingredients and dishes with distinct flavors, prepared consistently over time, the star is deserved,” announced Hercule Laurent from the guide’s headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
While Air Force “chow halls” have been famous for their excellent quality—plus having workers bus tables—none had received international recognition until now.
