The Ice Cream Science Podcast - Episode 2 - Chris Fettes, retired US Navy SEAL Team 6 operator and founder of Be Free Craft Ice Cream
Hi everyone and welcome to the long-overdue episode 2 of the ice cream science podcast.
In this episode, I sit down with Chris Fettes. Chris is a retired US Navy Seal who served in the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), also known as SEAL Team 6. He is now the founder of Be Free Craft Ice Cream, a small-batch artisan ice cream company based in Virginia Beach in the US.
In this episode, we discuss an upcoming event that Chris is preparing to serve his ice cream at, the equipment he uses, the Penn Sate ice cream course that he attended, the incredible story of how he took his domestic ice cream machine on deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and his short-to-medium-term plans.
