Robert Irvine
Southwest Asia, the Mediterranean, the Pacific – you name it, Robert Irvine has been there in support of service members and their families. Whether the celebrity chef and TV host is meeting and greeting or performing a cooking demonstration for troops, USO is proud to count Chef Irvine as a strong supporter. “Random acts of kindness by volunteers for service men and their families – that’s something special,” recounted Irvine during his last tour.
Robert Irvine and his wife, Gail Kim-Irvine, traveled with the USO and other entertainers on the 2017 Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff USO Holiday Tour.
