I’m a retired fire captain with just over 29 years on the job. My first station assignment was with a bunch of seasoned vets and they told me I was the new cook, haha. I hadn’t cooked much for myself let alone a bunch of dudes that judge you on EVERYTHING. Thank God for Emeril Lagasse , I watched his show religiously and he got me started on a journey that ended up being a passion that I love and still enjoy to this day. Firemen and food go together like fire and heat. Show love to all of our first responders we are all lucky to have them. I hope you enjoy cookingwiththedrakester 🔥
