“The Racing Chef” Tempts the Racers’ Taste Buds

Typical race track food consists of hamburgers, hot dogs and fries. They may be an American favorite, but not a diet that anyone would thrive on day in and day out. Racing teams are no exception. They have to stay on-site all day over the course of four days, so their dining choices are limited. 

That’s why Team Jegs has its own chef: Nicky Morse, aka “The Racing Chef”. Chef Nicky can boast a gourmet kitchen that is second to none. It just happens to be on wheels.

Nicky travels the United States with Jeg Coughlin, Jr., from February to November, cooking lunch and dinner for anywhere between 20 to 30 people. He specializes in French and Italian-style cooking and all of his food is prepared at the track in the JEG'S customized industrial-equipped kitchen. Hmm, wonder if he needs an assistant?
