Fire in the kitchen: Cookin' for the vollies. A reality cooking show created by Roger J Lown.

 I enjoy watching food shows especially the show “Chopped”. In my creative thinking I thought of a show that would bring culinary chefs together with members of America’s volunteer fire departments. Here is how the show works. Volunteers are called to their fire station for an impromptu drill, Fire in The Kitchen. To their surprise and in honor of them a culinary chef is revealed from behind the stage. The show goes on live while the firefighters are on call; they are on call twenty fours hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days of the year. If the fire station is called to an alarm the show goes on with department family members remaining.

Here is my idea in detail:    

"Fire In The Kitchen; Cooking for the Vollies!"

Culinary chef surprises volunteer firefighters by cooking for them at the firehouse. The show is live and at any time the station can receive an emergency call. As they say in show business the show must go on. The chef continues cooking for the remaining audience whom also consists of volunteer family members.

The volunteer fire stations are randomly selected or selected by a lottery style system and/or the departments can sign up to be on a waiting list via email.

The members are assembled at the station after being called to the firehouse for a “Fire in The Kitchen Drill”. The surprise chef is revealed as he/she appears from behind the stage curtain and announces for example, “Hello Lake City Fire and Rescue!”

The chef can be randomly selected or they can choose a volunteer firehouse they wish to surprise.
