Cooking Through a 24-Hour Firehouse Shift | On the Job | NYT Cooking

What do firefighters eat on a 24-hour shift? In this episode of “On the Job,” Priya Krishna takes us inside the kitchen of a firehouse in Jersey City, New Jersey, where Pete Gonzalez cooks elaborate meals for his fellow firefighters.

Everyone pitches in. Even if they’re not cooking, they’re washing dishes, prepping ingredients or mopping the floor. At any moment, a meal can be interrupted. When a call comes in, burners are switched off and the kitchen empties in seconds. Later, firefighters wander back in, peeling off their gear, shaking off adrenaline and sitting down as if they’d never left.

“That’s why we take these meals so seriously,” Gonzalez said. “It could be our last meal together. It could be just your last meal in general.”
