2:09 "we dont really change up the menu that much except for the postgame meal." Dumoulin- "They change up the menu a lot"
Think he means on game days, guess they switch it up more on non game days
@ryan miller thats what i said
On game days he said
Strip steak and lobster tails after practice. Exactly what I ate after high school basketball practice. 😂😂😂
What school you going to? And did they provide that
Man, the only thing that would make this better would be if the players had teeth to eat all of this food with. Great stuff.
Haha.
And they invited others because with inclusion all should be invited!! LETS GO BRANDON!!!
@@bevor1785 ??????????
@@bevor1785 If Brandon gets his way it will be bread and water four times a day.
💀💀💀 lol
I bet the Pirates put out a spread of PB & J sandwiches....
LOL... Nutting is so tight players probably have to buy their food out of vending machines... like they say in the film Moneyball: "Keep the money on the field" hahaaaa
Too expensive, rice and beans
@@crosscheck8770 Too expensive, trade the best player before serving rice and beans.
Pb&J?
PP & J clearly mens peanuts, pumpernickle and jam. What's so confusing?
Love the look behind the scenes
As a chef and lifelong hockeyfan, this is a dream job!
LOL!!! NO, it is not. It is a glorified line cook with access to good products.
@@samburke8595 ????? I think it would be pretty cool to be making meals for the one and only Sidney Crosby lol
I grew up in Pittsburgh and played hockey, was familiar with the Penguins organization and remember when their post-game meal was pizza and beer, the times have really changed!
And a coupla cigarettes to cleanse the palet
@@DClean N'at
Explains why the game got so soft.
What a great way to treat players, and what a great professional they have in this Chef. How I'd love to spend just one day taking in the four meals Chef prepares for the guys... and watching the care and attention Chef obviously puts into supporting the group.
The lobster looks fabulous.
Cool story and video... Glad the Chefs can help the team in such a special way!
That’s awesome to have support staff at table level. Good on the pengs organization
Thank you so much to make sure our amazing team eats well 🥳
love these kinds of videos
This is so cool. I want lunch at work too, and breakfast.
I like watching the behind the scenes videos. Do a workout one next.
Amazing what goes into it
Hi Trav! I watch all of your vids!
Y’all should do a series of him demoing how to cook different healthy meals. I’d watch it.
Very cool! I would think that individual players would have private chefs but not the team. Go Penguins!!!!!
Matt Murray at the end 😂😂😂
Thanks KZhead algorithm! I like food and hockey, so yeah -- makes total sense.
Awesome stuff
Top class organisation! I'm so happy to be a fan of the Penguins!
How times have changed. This didn’t age well
How come?
Pens n'at
This is so cool!!
"organic salmon", Cool expression...
They're makein me hungry!!! Any leftovers?😃 And LOBSTER??? DAMN!!!!
A Top Notch Organization everywhere!!!
Wait...where’s the hot dog station for Kessel?!
Very cool!!
this is so cool
Food looks good!
Knights fan hear thought that was interesting
Man this kitchen crew and Chef Jeff ain't Puckin around with these food options..
Matt Murray more choked about leaving the Penguins kitchen than the team
Way to work that grill Kaytiiiieeeeeeee! Much better than at Burgatory!
2:19. those eyes man :]
Yay culinary team 👍🙌 got my cuz #59 eatin right! 🐧🏒🏆
ColdplayFanForever Meg I find that extremely offensive
@@kasha_kold why is that?
ColdplayFanForever Meg please take this comment down now or I will be forced to alert the authorities on suspicion of hate crime. People have tried to do this to me before. You’re not the first. Won’t be the last.
@@kasha_kold hate crime? I'm not following you... I comment on the video that my cousin's eating well and that's a hate crime to you? Whatever. Go for it
ColdplayFanForever Meg don’t you dare try to blame the victim for something you did! This is what’s wrong with America, it’s a hateful hateful place filled with hateful people like you.
This video made me hungry af.
Seeing Murray at the Very end.. OOF, hurts a little seeing him struggle a little in Ottawa.
This made me hungry
Wonder if the culinary team travels with the team?
do they get rings also?
Ok..the strip steaks and lobster post practice meal???. I’m 70, but wonder if it’s too late for me to sign with The Penguins? Also I don’t really know how to skate, but I’m gonna learn…right now. The post game sushi works nicely for me too!
Wonder if the Kings' kitchen is set up in a similar way.
Do they also get Stanley Cup rings? just curious how far off the ice those get distributed.
no only players and coaches
Is this the Omelette guy Therrien fired?
Came for this comment
Imagine what the world would be like if we did this for teachers
If you didn't have public schools teachers would not only get paid more but they could get things like this. Unfortunately many of them indoctrinate students with lies.
I would love to be a part of this but I gotta feeling you don’t have time to watch the games
The players better tip them well come holiday time!
Pretty sure the support staff is well payed so they dont have to rely on tips. Besides it doesnt look like they serve anyone at their table or anything like that.
THEY GOT NICK BONINI BACK ON THE TEAM!
These guys.
where’s the lamb SAAAAUUUUCCCEEE
nino has it
Eeh? Where's thu lamb sawce n'at?
Did any of the players take an interest in what you do and drop by to observe and learn from you on their off day?
Thought that was Ruhwedel in the thumbnail
If I'm doing a high-intensity workout, I can't eat much more than a smoothie and a salad or I'll cramp up. I can't believe the players eat all of this and then go out and skate for 60 minutes.
Yes!
JMac I would take 2 Lobster tails as well!!!!!
I think that is the best price of being NHLér.
So Pittsburgh Penguins club has got a restaurant no?
what?
Does the culinary team cook food at home to? I would not want to after cooking all day for others
Thats the life of a chef
Dear god I wish that was me
My chef was trained at Hyde Park, I wonder where this guy learned his trade.
You have a chef? Damn.
Love me some bernaise LMAO
It is incredible to see the difference between SEC Football and NHL. The NHL is bush league...in all aspects: Kitchen to athletes.
*a day in the life of a back 2 back hot dog maker*
does phil the thrill kessel burgers if he asks ?
Surprised they don't get wild salmon
I wonder what they did in the early days
neat
I wanna eat like a Penguin
Думаю что очень вкусно
I didn’t even know this was a thing….
Where's omelet guy?
He’s a great chef but I almost turned it off when he took the skin off that salmon! Bacon of the sea
Is this Omelette guys son?
Who needs that incredibly healthy salmon skin anyway?
That's what I was thinking. throwing away the best part.
Plus it sears crispy for better texture contrast with the meat, especially against the medium/medium rare interior!
🤮🤮🤮🤮
They probably feed it to Iceburgh
Damit! I should have played hockey as a child! Oh well maybe in the next lifetime i will make it to the NHL🤷🏽♂️. For now ill just keep playing rat hockey.
Do every team get this treatment
ya lol
With the war chest of money why not wild pacific salmon? Better flavors and health then the frankin fish
no more omelette guy
Wish I was a pro athlete
Those steaks looked so overcooked that they could be used as pucks.
Hey chef, try cooking 3 meals a day for 1000 everyday with limited staff
Why don't you try cooking 4 meals every day for a million people with no staff
@@mrr5052 😆 🤣 😂
Hotel?
@@rodmunch4879 work camp in the Canadian oil sands
Hate the pens but appreciate the video nonetheless.
Omelette guy
LOL at being forced to serve same pre-game menu all season long because of superstiscious and/or routine-loving playsrs
You obviously don't know hockey.
chocotaco?
Cullen-ary?
juicy cute he looks 26
Must be nice
You couldn't pay me to eat any farm raised dirty ole salmon !!!!!!!!!!!
mhm
That coach’s answer was bs lmao
Sam Sherman, haha! You definitely get the feeling that they played that for like 30 other videos. Just slot it right in.
Is Chef Jeff high?
Geoff* and who cares
So pros never have to cook at home for themselves or even need to know how to cook.
Get youns some pieroges n'at boys.
What if he gave the whole team food poisoning
What if a giant meteor hits earth?
@@TranslatedAssumption I was saying that as a joke
How much does it cost to see a game Lobster after practice Spoiled rotten
So not only do these guys make ridiculous salaries but they eat hand made meals fit for a king on the teams dime. 🤣🤣🤣
seems pretty basic
Add roids
Do they have gluten-free players?
Farm raised salmon? Yuck
