AMERICA'S "HOTTEST" FIREFIGHTING COOK WINS $10,000 AT NATIONAL TABASCO® COOK & LADDER COMPETITION
Firefighter Dan Rinaldi with the Providence Fire Department in Rhode Island cooked his way to $10,000 and the title of America's "Hottest" Firefighting Cook in the second national TABASCO® Cook & Ladder Competition held at The Institute of Culinary Education (formerly Peter Kump's New York Cooking School) in New York City on February 5, 2002.
Rinaldi traded in his turnout coat and Scott pack for an apron and spice rack to make his favorite off-duty recipe, Firehouse Fra-Diavilo, a lobster and spaghetti dish with a spicy pink sauce. He competed in this heated cook-off with nine other firefighters and their "fire-ry" creations from around the country.
"I was thrilled to have the opportunity to come to New York and cook with the best firehouse cooks in the nation. The warm atmosphere and camaraderie added just the right flavor and heat to my favorite recipe," Rinaldi said. Rinaldi is uncertain as to how he will use his own prize money, but adds, "I feel honored to be able to contribute half of the prize winnings to my firehouse, where I know the money will be greatly appreciated."
