The challenge if you choose to accept it: Cook a meal in under 45 minutes using the required secret ingredient and only the items provided to you on the cooking set. In round one, our secret ingredients were t-bone steak and broccoflower ( a mix between broccoli and cauliflower). Fellow firefighter, Captain Mike Harden and I set out to meet this challenge and we were good enough to make it to the finals.
