Our Story: From Coastal Roots to Culinary Excellence
Every great tradition has a story, and ours begins in the coastal community of the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Jeff, the founder of Firehouse Boil Co in Florida, grew up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a small coastal community. Back in the day there was not a lot of money to go around and we did not get all the visitors like we see now, so as a community, we worked together on raising kids and providing all of the services needed to support our families. Many of our parents became service workers, entrepreneurs, fishing boat hands, or cooks in the back of the restaurants on the beach, as we did ourselves over time. As an Outer Banker, you have probably checked off a few of the jobs listed above in your life. So, we all grew up with an appreciation of service and seafood.
Our Fire Departments were all volunteers back then. It was not uncommon for family and children to hang around the firehouse. Fishermen would drop off bushel baskets full of fresh shrimp, and local mainland farmers would bring baskets of fresh sweet corn, red potatoes, and onions. The short straw drawing cook would grab the huge boil pot and cook it all up, with some fresh sausage on the side. Fresh sausage was always available because there are lots of pig farmers and local butcher shops in eastern NC. The resulting combination of fresh locally caught shrimp, local farmed vegetables, and local packed fresh sausage would be combined in a single family-style steaming pot-to-table dump of delicious food that was known as a Firehouse Boil.
As adults, we Outer Bankers would gather together as people do, and we would cook up a pot full of shrimp boil goodness to share. During the early days of COVID, one such event took place as an excuse to gather... because, of course, we all have to eat, and we want to be together with our friends. So we cooked it up Firehouse style, and soon the food turned to laughter and fun, and we, together, in that moment, overcame the restrictions we were living under. We all knew we were having a special moment, and Jeff's best friend Russell stated, "I wish we could share this experience with people who come here to visit." That statement registered with the group, and a discussion began on how to do just that. Within a few months, a business model was created, and in 2021 Jeff and childhood friend Dave launched Firehouse Boil on the Outer Banks.
From the very beginning, we could see how much everyone loved the food, but the experience of fun and fellowship made it something more than just a meal. It became a popular success and continues on the Outer Banks today.
Now we are bringing the Firehouse Boil experience to Central Florida.
From the start, we decided to collect 1% of our top-line revenue in a fund to benefit local service-oriented families in need. Growing up in a small town, we experienced the need for anonymous charity. We will continue this tradition in Florida. Through local foundations, that money is distributed anonymously to needy service families.
Thank you for supporting Firehouse Boil Co. If you decide to order, we will do our best to make sure this is not just a great meal, but a great experience to be remembered and to make into a lasting tradition.
"I consider the creation of your boil to be a craft rather than a task, with the pride that comes along with making something special coming through with every bite." - Jeff
