Upcoming Episodes

July is going to be an exciting month for Feeding The Fire: first we have the long anticipated Miami Beach installment where we travel to the fun and sun for some fresh-caught game fish, only to land in the middle of a Hurricane. But some herb-encrusted grouper and lemon grass suateed shrimp gets us through the tropical storm.

And we hit the road again this month--this time back to where we started, our hometown of Chicago where we will make up some Buffalo Chicken lasagna at the River Grove fire station and visit Chicago's first "green" firehouse for a meal that is sure to raise the bar in culinary cuisine from the midwest.

Everybody loves firemen. They provide our communities with important emergency services, and as America has witnessed over the past few years, perform their duties with an unrelenting sense of honor and bravery.

Forest Fire FightersIn the past, when Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, men and women from firehouses around the nation mobilized themselves and prepared to travel across country to help in the rescue of thousands of citizens. When wildfires threatened hundreds of thousands of acres of forest in Northern Arizona, firefighters with a wide range of wild fire experience came from all over the country to help contain the mega fire and protect the thousands of structures that lay in its wake. These are just a couple examples of what firefighters do, but at the end of a long, arduous day, the one constant is that these true American Heroes get hungry. And any old meal will simply not do.

This is what Feeding The Fire is all about.


Eating in the FirehouseEvery firehouse across the country has at least one cook who has elevated his skills to a level of expertise that rivals some of the best chefs in the country. Each episode of Feeding The Fire takes us to a different firehouse around the country and introduces us to one cook who has perfected a regional recipe for some of the world’s most critical eaters. Our cooks impart hundreds of insider tips about choosing and preparing food as they take us through the preparation of a complete meal indicative of that region, whether it be southwest cuisine in Flagstaff, crab cakes in Baltimore, a fish boil in Sturgeon Bay, southern style fried chicken in Savannah or Dungeness crab stuffed salmon in Seattle.

Feeding The Fire is a series of cooking shows. Each episode shot in High Definition video on location at regional firehouses around the United States, and featuring real American firefighters. The program is shot documentary style to add to the sense that these are real Firemen in a real Firehouse.

Primarily a cooking show, this program also explores the lives of American Heroes by taking our audience into the places where they work, live, relax, joke, sleep, tell their stories and eat their meals.
