Hailing from Harrison, New York, AJ Fusco fights fires and  handles emergencies as a professional first responder.  When hes not battling flames, AJ has a found a niche in the fire company as the resident cook.  Taking night course at the International Culinary Institute, AJ got an understanding about food prep, flavor profile, knifework, and making delicious out of ordinary.  Something as wildgame foodies we could only wish we had.  From course work to in the field, AJ interned at world class restaurants where he was able to gleen techniques from the industries finest.  His liver mousse recipe was learned from April Bloomfield, how much more high level can you get?  

AJ took his talents back to the firehouse and started his side hussle of Fork and Hose Co.  A blog where he would post dishes he created and served at the firehouse.  His little venture grew and his talents landed him on Guy’s Grocery Games (a favorite in my household).  While the show is silly, he was able to not only appear on, but win the prize.  I believe he was going to buy his mom a dishwasher and donate the rest to a charity promoting first responder health.  Fork and Hose Co. is now more than just a blog, but a whole community of firehouse chefs, showing off their talents and promoting firefighter health by helping make some healthy changes at dinner table.

While AJ is not a sportsmen per say, he is a fan of venison and using the deer, nose to tail.  Jump on over to @forkandhoseco for amazing ideas, and http://www.forkandhoseco.com/blog for recipes.
