The guys were nice enough to answer a few questions for me, the following is a brief interview with Danny and Kenny:

Me, asking Questions |
Danny’s answers |
Kenny’s answers |
| Do you all take turns cooking at the firehouse, or do only the good cooks get to cook? | Usually 2-3 people who actually enjoy cooking and we just rotate most of the time. | Yes ma’am, we have a rotation for a while, but normally, we got guys that want to cook so we let them cook. They’re usually better at it. |
| Do you heckle or get heckled by the other firefighters? | A few of the guys give me a hard time, you know all the preparation, I’m taking my time to cook and they give always give me a hard time “ aw, we’re not going to eat until 8 o’clock” | That’s part of the job, you’re going to get heckled no matter what you do at the fire station, whether its cooking, cleaning or training if it’s not just how they like it they’re going to heckle you. It’s all in fun, though. |
| What kind of support would you like from the community? | We go to the grocery store ourselves and we pay for our own food. Some members of the community will come by and drop off some sweets, cupcakes things of that nature. Yesterday at my station, station 21 we had a member of our community cater Moe’s in for us. But that’s voluntary, we don’t ever ask for it. | The neighborhood that surrounds our station is awesome, they always come by and offer they drop gift cards off, at Christmas they drop stuff off for us. Actually the neighborhood assists us in mowing and taking care of our lawn. We have a really great community. |
| Is this your favorite cut of steak, the ribeye? | No, Filet Mignon or sirloin. I like my steak a little bit more lean. I like to grill my steak over charcoal or on a flat top. I’m really select in my choice of meat, I look at how the fat is distributed, and I cook it over medium heat, on the top rack of the grill. | Yes ma’am it is, I like a filet, too |
| How would you adapt this recipe to serve it as a romantic dinner? | I would cook a filet with grilled asparagus and grilled corn. I leave the cork in the husk, soak it in water and put it on the top rack to cook until its tender. I put the corn on before I put the steak on | I’d have candles out here and not all these guys! |
