OT Ever screwed up trying to impress a large group?

  • So I work for a city fire department and the firehouse I work at has 11 guys on shift at this particular house. Well it was my rotation to make dinner. Cooking for 11 people can be challenging.

    So I decided to make montery chicken. It's chicken with BBQ sauce, bacon slices, jack cheese, scallions and diced tomatoes. It's quite good. Well for one I'm cooking 20 chicken breast on a grill in 20 degree weather.. Every time I flipped the chicken my grill dropped way down in temp. Then after I got the chicken cooked you place the toppings on the breasts and put it in the oven for 15 minutes to melt the cheese and get it hot.

    Well, one of the fireman called everyone to dinner after only a few minutes in the oven!! I said dude its not ready and he said oh I'm sure it's fine. I thought it would be ok, did baked grilling beans and garlic bread with it.

    Anyways the chicken was luke warm and bland and I could tell in their faces they were not impressed. I was so embarrassed. Felt so small. No one said anything about it but again I felt like hiding in a hole. I'm sure I'm my hardest critic but still.

    Have any of you set out to impress and come up short?

    Next time just grill steaks rare and throw them on the table. Tell the rest the guys that if they don't like em they aren't a man.

    Having grown up a firehouse rat and later joined the local dept, I'm wondering why you didn't pull 1 truck out and move the grill into that bay? Alternatively, I bet the oven had a broil setting...which is a fair facsimile of grilling. Just a couple ideas for next time.

    Don't sweat it. Just hit a home run next time (and don't let anyone else tell you when it's ready).

    Our downtown station the kitchen is on the second floor and the grill is outside on the second floor patio. So I would have had to carry a big grill down two flights of stairs. Also they past a ordinance that they don't want you firing up the grill and the smoker inside the fire bays cause if the smoke. The broiler is a good thought, I thought that too after the fact..

    If this registers as one of your most embarrassing moments, then you have lived a pretty clean life so far. I know a few fire fighters and I am sure you are making a much bigger deal out of this then they are.

  • Oh I can beat that story. My first year at my job I was told I had to go to career day at the local elementary school. It was on a Friday, and I was flying from FL to OH for The Game later in the day. Well I had to work 10 straight days to get the long weekend for The Game. I forgot about career day entirely. So I show up at work, and get strange looks and am told werent you supposed to be at the school an hour ago? I said oh shit, and flew over to the school. I show up and am immediately put in front of 30 fourth graders. I got nothing. I look at the teacher with an Oh Shit look, and ask if she can cover for me. I then run to my truck with my tale between my legs.
