Calling All Fire House Chefs! Compete in the Chowder Challenge at FIRE 2013!

NYSAFC’s "Cookin’ in the House" competition returns to the Annual Conference! This year, fire department chefs will face off with their best chowder recipes. One prize will be awarded in the following categories: "Chowder Challenge" Champion, Most Creative Chowder, People’s Choice Chowder, Best Clam Chowder, and Best Station Display.

The "Cookin’ in the House: Chowder Challenge" will be held during the 107th Annual Conference & FIRE 2013 expo on Friday, June 14 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the Cypress Rooms at the Turning Stone Resort, Verona, N.Y.

Special guest judges Robert Painter (FDNY Engine 63 and NYSAFC Hands-On Training instructor) and John Sierp (FDNY Ladder 169) will join us again offering cooking demos. They’ve appeared on many TV shows, including "Chopped," "The Rachael Ray Show," and "24 Hour Restaurant Battle."
