In 2018, Emirates passengers downed 72 million bread rolls, over 134,000 pounds of strawberries, 414, 000 pounds of salmon, and more than three million pounds of potatoes.

So, how does the world's largest flying restaurant feed hungry passengers aboard nearly 200,000 flights a year?

Well, before any cooking can even start, everything has to be unloaded off incoming flights.

They're all dropped in the ground floor of the facility to cleaned.

Dishes are separated into categories and sent through industrial-sized warewashing machines.

On average, the facility handles about 3 million pieces of tableware a day.

Those trolleys that bring you drinks during your flight are also cleaned here.

Then they're loaded up onto the building's mile-and-a-half-long monorail to be taken upstairs.

This system is how massive amounts of inventory are moved safely through the building.

The monorail has pick up and drop off points at multiple locations on every floor.

First, in the cold kitchen, all of the sandwiches and appetizers are prepped and plated.

Because the different cabins have specific menus, appetizers and sandwiches for first and business class are prepared on one side of the kitchen, while those for economy are prepared on the other.

Sandwiches are sliced and stacked and then fed through the flow wrapping machine to keep the bread fresh until it's unwrapped aboard the plane.

Now, on to the main kitchen, where they're whipping up the hot food.

The kitchen's broken down by four food regions: Asian, Sub-Continent, European, and Middle Eastern.

Emirates' 1,800 chefs from around the world develop 1,300 different menus a month.

They cover the culinary gamut of every destination Emirates flies to.

Whenever you're aboard an Emirates flight, the meal you're served will be inspired by the region of your arrival destination.

And with over 150 destinations in 85 different countries, well that's a lot of region-specific meals.

Emirates says they want to welcome travelers home or give new visitors a first taste of the region's food.

So what's Emirates specialty dish welcoming passengers to their hub of Dubai?

The hot kitchen is where region-specific dishes like the mezze take form.

Chefs mix big vats of vegetables, grill lines of lamb chops, and top rows of dishes with garnishes.

Each plate has to taste and look exactly the same.

It's at this point that all of the hot dishes head to the blast chiller.

They have to be cooled down to the perfect food-safe temperature.

The last kitchen is for all us sugar lovers: the dessert room.

Cakes, pastries, and cookies are all individually mixed, piped, dipped, and baked here.

The facility specializes in Arabic sweets, made in house.

The hydro processor, a high-powered water laser that cuts perfectly precise slices of cake.

Finally, the assembly room. This is where all of the pieces converge onto one tray.

It's also where every meal gets a day code printed on it.

It's in UV ink, so as a passenger you won't actually see it, but it helps Emirates track the life of each dish.

That way, they're sure they're not serving flyers any spoiled food.

This is also where salads and fruit plates are packaged up.

Silverware and dishes are prepared and all incoming meals are assembled onto trays, exactly as we'd see them as passengers aboard the flight.

Those trays are loaded back into the trolleys.

That take another spin on that monorail to the ground floor.

Back downstairs, the trolleys are packed into awaiting high-loader trucks.

Those trucks will be sent out to aircrafts two hours before departure times to unload meals for hungry passengers waiting aboard.
