Information on Lake Forest Firemen |
John des Rosiers, the executive chef at Lake Forest's Bank Lane Bistro, wanted to come up with something to give back to Chicagoland's firefighters for all their selfless work. So, he decided to share his knowledge of food and teach them how to cook! The firemen can then take what they learned and cook a nutritious, healthy meal for the rest of the guys at the firehouse!
