At the Paris Olympics, we're expected to make thousands of tons of food.
We'll be ordering over 3 million bananas, 20 tons of coffee and over 500 unique meals created by our team, serving approximately 40,000 meals every day for over 15,000 athletes
I'm Chef Jeff, one of the Olympic chefs with Sodexo Live! for Paris 2024.
I am one of 25 Global Sodexo Live! chefs supporting a team of a thousand employees.
Something people don't know is for the duration of the Olympics, this will be the world's largest restaurant with over 3500 seats, serving over 13 million meals for 2 months.
The meals are inspired by International flavors.
The main food Hall at the athletes Village will have an international section, a North American section, a Halal section, an Asian section and of course, a French section, with all the classic French gastronomy and pastries.
When looking at the meal served at the athletes village, we take into account nationality, religion, preferences, and most of all, the needs of the athletes event.
With my experience at feeding athletes, we're also going to be working with players' nutritionist and creating different recipes and menu items.
Most recently in the food trends, we are starting to see athletes are looking for high carb meals, lean proteins and most of all, diverse menus to give them options.
