New Recipe from Firefighting Cook, Danny Rinaldi

Our dear friend and award winning firefighting chef, Danny Rinaldi, wrote in and gave us this recipe for our listeners. Danny is a great guy with awesome food. This is a man who ought to have his own firefighter/cooking tv show on the Food Network. ;-)
I would definitely love to see Danny and BBQ Bob in a kitchen together! Now that would be good eats - and entertainment to boot!
If you didn't yet hear Danny's interview with BBQ Bob, go here to have a listen.
