Goodfellow Air Force Base

The Air Force Services Center announced the 2026 John L. Hennessy Award winners, and we are proud to bring home the trophy for Reion 2! This year’s competition is the 70th year the Department of the Air Force and the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation have partnered to recognize our outstanding mission feeding professionals and platforms – this longstanding industry partnership strengthens our ability to serve Airmen, Guardians, and their families. Winners were selected based on demonstrated (and sustained) excellence in Management Effectiveness, Force Readiness Support, Food Quality and Production, Employee and Customer Relations, Training, and Safety Awareness.

"This is such a big win, not just because it’s the Hennessy Award, but because you’re the first full-food Food 2.0 operation to earn this honor. That’s something to be extremely proud of. You’ve proven that the Sodexo and our AB1 partner can deliver the Food 2.0 model at the highest level when it’s executed with passion, discipline, and teamwork and that’s exactly what you do every day." - Marquis Edwards, Sodexo General Manager
