JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Lackland Texas – The Air Force Services Center (AFSVC) is proud to announce their hot new streaming series “Base Bites.” The 9-episode debut of “Base Bites,” produced by AFSVC, takes a closer look at base-life highlighting eateries across the Air Force and Space Force. With the promise to be a feast for the senses, “Base Bites” will be premiering exclusively on AFSVC’s newly launched Over-The-Top (OTT) media channel, the AF Live app kicking off October 17.
“The Air Force Services Center recognizes that people are its greatest asset; accordingly, we are putting audiences behind the scenes of service members’ lives in the new ‘Base Bites’ series. The newly created culinary show is just one of the many in production for the OTT media channel, AF Live app. Each series showcases Airmen’s and Guardians’ most coveted interests, base life and remarkable talents,” remarks Richard Cooper, Strategic Marketing & Branding Specialist.
The new series takes audiences straight into the kitchens and dining rooms of some of the Air Forces’ beloved cantinas. Joining the cantina crew is the show’s host Rudy J who will try out and dish out some of the bases’ favorite entrees. While zig-zagging across the United States, the Base Bites crew makes pit stops at The Grill at Eisenhower Golf Club located in the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) (Colorado Springs, CO) where the notable food and beverage staff caters to prestigious Air Force and DOD events. At the Afterburner Grill located inside the Shaw Air Force Base (Sumter, South Carolina) “Base Bites” plans to dive into their sinfully delicious southern dishes like their signature Fried Catfish and fried cabbage and seeks out the real secret to their signature hot sauce. As well as a Halloween special episode at the renowned Moody Field Club, at Moody AFB (Valdosta, Georgia) where the team finds out how they make their hallmark Wings, Steak Burger and Mongolian BBQ so tantalizing!
“In launching this new series, we celebrate not just the culinary delights found on our installations but the incredible men and women who serve our nation,” says Gary Lott, Chief Integrated Marketing and Branding. “The AF Live app stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of interests within the Air Force and Space Force communities. ‘Base Bites’ is more than just a culinary journey; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the dedication of our Airmen and Guardians.”
